About
The focus of this paper is specifically designed to educate emergency planners on the key distinctions of no-notice, dynamic incident scenes with exceedingly large numbers of patients. This will require a review of current plans and making necessary modifications to those plans and corresponding training and exercises to ensure preparedness for these types of events. Each community has a unique set of resources and needs and may therefore require different solutions than other jurisdictions. It is important to note that this is a discussion document and not a consensus document. Therefore, the authors have tried to represent the diversity of opinions where they were significant. This document is also focused on triage and does not account for the broad range of supporting disaster planning required for a successful response.Tags
