Chantilly, VA – February 4, 2009 - First Line Technology recently delivered 40 AmbuBus – Bus Stretcher Conversion Kits to the Georgia Department of Human Resources completing a $1 million state-wide contract to enhance evacuation capabilities during natural or man-made disasters. The Georgia Department of Human Resources in conjunction with local school districts deployed these assets around the State of Georgia to convert school buses or other transit buses into mass-transport ambulances. The AmbuBus allows Georgia to use vehicles of opportunity in the State to expediently and efficiently evacuate hospitals, medical facilities, and nursing homes during a hurricane evacuation. 

"Georgia joins other states in putting together an effective plan with the AmbuBus kit to ensure that nonambulatory citizens are able to evacuate without having to rely on ambulances," said Amit Kapoor, First Line’s President. "With lessons learned from Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and most recently Ike and Gustav, States are realizing that there are just not enough ambulances available for an effective evacuation and  the need for a package like the AmbuBus kit, that can convert any school or transit bus into a masscasualty transport vehicle, is critical in any emergency plan."
