Good article on how to manage mass casualty incidents (MCIs) more effectively in the
Journal of Emergency Medical Services:
The Sept. 12, 2008, collision between two trains in a remote area on the
outskirts of Los Angeles was an "all-hands" MCI that required
significant manpower and resources. This incident presents the
opportunity for me to review components of MCI management that are often
neglected or omitted from MCI action plans:
- Scene Management
- Communications
- Use of helicopters
- Forward Triage & Re-Triage
- Staging Vehicles and People
- Patient Transfer Teams
