Unit II ProjectThroughout this course, you are asked to develop a budget for an EMS service. Both parts of this assignment will allow you to begin the groundwork for the development of that budget. Part I: The first part of this assignment is to help you research financial and demographic information by identifying examples of common EMS services and consider which type of organization you will choose for the budget project. Click here to download a matrix that is used for both parts of this assignment. First, you will begin by finding examples of common EMS services. Next, through the Internet, the CSU Online Library, or both, locate an example organization for each type of EMS organization listed in the matrix. Finally, include at least two of these three contact forms: a Web link, contact information (e.g., phone numbers, person in charge), and an address for each example EMS organization. Part II: In your selection of an organization, remember that each type will have different budgetary needs based on the organization’s mission. While developing the budget, you will serve as a key administrator for one of the organizations listed below. The budget you develop will be based on the few characteristics given for the type of EMS organization you select and its mission. After selecting one of the organizations, begin dissecting the organization by answering the following questions: 1. Based on the budgetary goal, what do you know about this EMS organization’s budgetary needs? 2. What does the EMS organization expect to achieve through the budget based on the organization’s mission, and why is financial management important to it? Within the template included in Part I of this assignment, insert your 200-word response to these questions under Part II. This will serve as a draft of what will be used as the rationale for your budget. This rationale will then be utilized in the Unit III EMS 4301, Finance of EMS Systems 2Project Assignment. Make sure to utilize research into things like the demographic of your hypothetical area, costs of equipment, training, or marketing that you might want to include in the budget. These should be referenced and cited using APA format in the rationale draft. Choose one from the seven selections below. Remember, this will be your EMS organization for the balance of the Course Project. Non-Profit Organizations Fire Department (First Responders): This is a fire department in a suburban community.
