About Code Blue
Code Blue was developed in 1999 to help rural Alaskan communities fund some of
their essential EMS equipment needs. State, federal, local government and private
foundation funding have come together in a powerful partnership to help
emergency medical services. The Code Blue project has helped many communities
to replace worn out or aging equipment.
Struggling volunteer services have received new equipment they might never have
been able to afford. We have had good success with a variety of funding sources.
over the past two decades. The USDA-Rural Development project, the State of
Alaska, the Rasmuson Foundation, the Denali Commission, local communities,
borough governments, regional offices, and other agencies have come together to
fund several million dollars in EMS equipment for rural Alaska since the program
began.
Your region’s EMS Council is a strong advocate for you and your emergency
medical service. We work very hard to get approved projects funded. You can begin
