Regulation FD Disclosure.
On October 2,
2008, Emergency Medical Services Corporation (
EMSC
) issued a press release regarding
EMSCs recent deployment to provide patient evacuation and disaster relief
efforts in three Gulf Coast states for Hurricanes Gustav and Ike.
The deployment
occurred under the national contract between EMSCs subsidiary, American
Medical Response (
AMR
),
and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (
FEMA
). The national contract took
effect on August 1, 2007, and was renewed by FEMA for a second year.
FEMA has the option to renew the contract for three more years on an annual
basis.
EMSC expects
revenue from the deployments for Hurricanes Gustav and Ike to be approximately
$90 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 with a positive
impact on earnings. Additional information with respect to the deployment
is set forth on the Press Release included herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
The information in
this report, including the exhibit, shall not be deemed filed for purposes of
Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act
), or
otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section, nor shall it be deemed
to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by
specific reference in such a filing. The information in this report shall not
be deemed to constitute an admission that such information contains material
information required to be furnished by Regulation FD.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements and
information herein may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements
relating to our objectives, plans and strategies, and all statements (other
than statements of historical facts) that address activities, events or
developments that we intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may
occur in the future. Any forward-looking statements herein are made as of the
date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, and EMSC undertakes no duty to update
or revise any such statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of
future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Important
factors that could cause actual results, developments and business decisions to
differ materially from forward-looking statements are described in EMSCs
filings with the SEC from time to time, including in the section entitled Risk
Factors in the Company's most recent Form 10-K and subsequent periodic
reports. Among the factors that could cause future results to differ materially
from those provided in this Current Report on Form 8-K are: the integration of
newly acquired entities into our business, the impact on our revenue of mix of
insured and uninsured patients and third party reimbursement rates; potential
penalties or changes to our operations if we fail to comply with extensive and
complex government regulation of our industry; and the loss of existing
contracts and the accuracy of our assessment of costs under new contracts.
