severity levels

Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, and Echo
1--------2--------3--------4----------5-----
least severe------------------>most severe

a heart attack is usually either delta or echo, while a sick person is usually alpha to bravo and sometimes charlie, but they all depends on te severity of the call

Hope that helps
