How it works

Assess. Staff. Document.

One workflow turns event details into a defensible medical coverage plan — not a feature bolted onto a staffing list, but the reason the staffing gets chosen.

01

Assess

Answer five short steps about your event. Standby scores medical exposure across crowd, environment, and activity — a 0–10 risk level with the factors that drove it.

02

Staff

Get a staffing configuration tied to that score: how many EMTs, which certification level, and for how long. Browse license-verified personnel matched to your event and request coverage.

03

Document

Every recommendation references its basis. When the authority having jurisdiction — or your insurer — asks why, you have a defensible answer instead of a guess.

Everything your event medical coverage needs

From multi-factor risk scoring to AHJ-ready documentation, Standby covers the entire event medical workflow in a single platform.

Why it's defensible
When an AHJ asks “why this many medics?”, “the model said so” isn't an answer. Standby ties every staffing number to published mass-gathering medicine guidance — so your coverage plan holds up before anyone questions it.
Grounded in mass-gathering medicine literature

A multi-factor risk model, not a black box. Standby's recommendations are a starting point and should always be reviewed by a qualified medical director.

Transparent pricing

Coverage you can price — and prove.

Two parts, both transparent. Book medics at their posted rate with the platform fee shown in the open — and soon, turn the same risk assessment into an AHJ-ready compliance report you can hand your permitting authority.

What you payBoth, itemized at checkout

No markup hidden in the rate. The medic keeps every dollar they post; Standby's fee is separate and labeled, so you always see exactly what goes to coverage versus the platform.

Prove your coverage to the AHJ

Turn your risk assessment into an AHJ-ready coverage report — the documentation you hand your Authority Having Jurisdiction (the fire marshal, local EMS office, or special-events office) to show your event is adequately staffed. Built on the same multi-factor risk engine, not a separate questionnaire.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Standby and how it protects your events

What is Standby and who is it for?
Standby is an event medical risk assessment and EMT staffing platform built for event coordinators, safety officers, and medical directors. Whether you're running a 500-person corporate event or a 50,000-person music festival, Standby generates a defensible risk assessment and matched staffing configuration in minutes.
How does the risk scoring work?
A multi-factor model — not a black box — scores your event across crowd, environmental, and activity exposure. It weighs expected attendance, venue type and outdoor exposure, weather, proximity to definitive care, on-site resources, and emergency access, then outputs a 0–10 risk level with a full breakdown of the contributing factors, so you can justify every staffing decision.
How do I find and book an EMT?
Browse certified EMTs on the Personnel page, filtered by certification level, experience, location, and event-type specialization. Each profile shows the EMT's posted hourly rate, event history, and availability. Send a booking request directly: the EMT keeps 100% of their posted rate, and Standby's service fee is added on top and shown as its own line — never buried in the rate.
How much does it cost?
Assessing your event, getting a staffing recommendation, and browsing matched EMTs is free. When you book, the EMT keeps 100% of their posted hourly rate — typically $35–45/hr for First Responders, $50–70/hr for EMT-Basics, and $85–135/hr for Paramedics — and Standby adds a transparent service fee on top, shown as its own line at checkout. AHJ-ready compliance reporting will be part of Standby Premier; it's free to preview during early access.
What's included in the compliance report?
The compliance report includes your event risk classification, staffing ratio justification, equipment requirements, medical command structure, emergency access plan, and the model's reasoning with the guidelines it references — all formatted for Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) review and insurance documentation.
How accurate are the staffing recommendations?
Recommendations are grounded in mass-gathering and event-medicine best-practice guidelines, including NAEMSP position statements. Each staffing line references the basis for its ratio, so an AHJ can see the reasoning rather than take a number on faith. Standby is a decision-support tool — every recommendation should be reviewed and signed off by a qualified medical director.
Is my event data secure?
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and we don't sell or share your event-specific information with third parties. You can request export or deletion of your data at any time. See our Privacy Policy for the full detail of what we collect and why.
