The EMS system is activated when an emergency is recognized by a bystander, patient, or first responder. NREMT describes EMS activation as a sequence that begins with recognizing an emergency and then accessing the system.
Option D (Recognition) is correct because without recognition, no call for help occurs.
Option C (Notification) follows recognition.
Option B (Dispatch) occurs after notification.
Option A (Response) is the physical movement of EMS resources after dispatch.
NREMT emphasizes public education on recognizing emergencies as a key component of effective EMS systems.
