John Marcel, can you help me out here?

Omega is supposed to indicate there is no injury or medical emergency, but the person needs medical assistance. Usually it's a lift assist. It'd be the lowest level of severity. We have no procedure for it so it's always a standard emergency response. One reason is often we determine the person really is hurt and needs transport.

Alpha is Lowest priority and Echo is Highest priority.

Stay Safe,
