MEET MERV

Meet MERV. Suffolk County recently announced the acquisition of MERV, their new Major Emergency Response Vehicle. Designed to transport mass casualties and aid in medical evacuations, the 42-foot-long MERV can accommodate 24 patients and attending medical personnel. It can also serve as an on-site triage facility, provide firefighter and EMS rehabilitation, and stay on station to provide medical support for long-term emergency incidents. In addition to enhancing the safety of Suffolk County residents during severe weather events or major disasters, MERV can be deployed to assist municipalities throughout New York State when the need arises. Suffolk County was part of MERV’s original design team, and funding for the $380,000 vehicle was provided by a grant from the Department of Homeland Security.
