This course is designed for anyone involved in delivering emergency services as a result of a mass-casualty incident. A community’s EMS, fire, rescue, police, aeromedical, fire-police, emergency department, and dispatch center personnel should attend since joint response and coordination is crucial to the successful managing of any multiple-victim incident whether it be a bus accident, explosion, or active shooter incident at a school or mall.
This Mass-Casualty Incident Management Seminar offers the participants an equal amount of didactic and practical demonstrations, ensuring that the students understand and appreciate the proper principles and procedures for successfully managing mass casualty incidents.
Participants will be provided with factual and graphic information along with examples of how to manage and/or function cooperatively at actual, or potential, mass-casualty incidents. Participants will also learn the roles and responsibilities of each key command officer and participating agency at mass-casualty incidents.
Emphasis will be placed on procedures and techniques that can be implemented easily and inexpensively to expedite patient care, identification, removal and distribution from the scenes encountered.
