The Inland Counties Emergency Medical Agency (ICEMA) oversees the Healthcare Coalition for San Bernardino County, also known as the Healthcare Preparedness Planning Partnership (HP3). HP3 is constantly evaluating existing and evolving hazards to better prepare for future responses.

As part of ICEMA’s commitment to enhancing emergency preparedness throughout San Bernardino County, ICEMA is proud to announce the completion of its oxygen trailers.

ICEMA partnered with Pacific Coast Industrial Gases (PCI Gases) to convert two specially designed trailers into fully functional mobile oxygen filling stations. This project is critical to aid during a sustained response and during major disasters.

Depending on the location and size of an emergency/disaster there may be delays in receiving resources from the supply chain. These oxygen trailers provide medical grade oxygen that is essential to sustain life for those with respiratory conditions and injuries.

The Healthcare Coalition members who will benefit from the oxygen trailers include the hospitals in San Bernardino County, skilled nursing facilities and long-term care facilities, fire departments, ambulance providers and county departments such as Public Health, Behavioral Health and the Office of Emergency Services.
