Managing Multiple Casualty Incidents
EMS providers respond to varying emergencies, along with fire department and law enforcement personnel, on a regular basis. From time to time, large-scale events occur that require a greater number of first responders and specialty personnel to assist at the incident which will tax local resources and require mutual aid. These events may be a multiple alarm fire or an uncontrolled wildland fire. They may result from transportation accidents involving passenger vehicles, vehicles carrying freight, or both. They may involve a hazardous materials incident or random acts of violence, such as an active shooter. They ultimately can be any situation that involves the challenges that come with managing multiple patients.
