Which option is the air ambulance identifier CALCORD?

• A. Bi-county dispatch
• B. Air ambulance identifier
• C. Sutter county
• D. Marysville to oroville or marysville to Hwy 99

Answer: (B)

CALCORD is the radio call sign used to identify the air ambulance resource. In EMS radio communications, each type of unit has a unique identifier so everyone on scene and at the dispatch center can clearly address and track who is operating. CALCORD specifically designates the air medical helicopter/air ambulance, not a dispatch center, a geographic area, or a flight route. The other options refer to the dispatcher location, a county, or a flight path, none of which serve as the air ambulance’s identifier.
