Theoretically, If in the aftermath of a hurricane, could an EMT take their personal jump bag to a scene on a dualsport motorcycle, knowing that it could take an ambulance much longer to respond due to downed trees and flooding?

Some places use motorcycles as fly cars, not sure about any in the us though, volunteers that respond from home could probably do it
My thought was at least They could get a patient history, a few sets of vitals, and maybe administer basic care.
Do you volunteer with any local dept? Do the crews running know you? If the answer to either one is no, then I wouldn't trust it if i got on scene and found you there.Do they usually distrust history from people responding from home? or is it just a manner of procedure.
I'm a big fan of the gators with the medbeds, fun to drive
Does your area have that much of a surplus of mid level providers that you can just plop one on every ambulance or first response vehicle?
There are a few PAs and NPs I work with that I'd LOVE to roll up on a "Well the hospital admitted me last year because of the hurricane" calls.
