 The Hampton Roads Mass Casualty Incident Response Guide (April 2010)
Preparing to manage multiple/mass casualty incidents just got a bit easier with the release of the 2010 Hampton Roads Mass Casualty Incident Response Guide! The MCI Guide is published jointly by the Peninsulas and Tidewater EMS Councils and is intended as the primary reference and guide for use by EMS Agencies, Fire Departments, Hospitals, 911/Emergency Communications Centers, and Emergency Managers operating within the Peninsulas EMS Council and Tidewater EMS Council regions when responding to a multiple or mass casualty incident.
The April 2010 edition features revised MCI Job Checklists that incorporate Incident Command System forms and tactical worksheets. In addition, the MCI Guide also includes the current JumpSTART triage algorithm, updated guidelines for the emergency management of contaminated patients, revised directions to hospitals, an emergency communications directory, updated MCI resouces list, and more. The 2010 Hampton Roads Mass Casualty Incident Response Guide can also serve as an EMS resources and planning tool for mass gathering events.
We strongly recommend that all Emergency Medical Technicians, EMS Agency Officers/Supervisors, Operational Medical Directors, Emergency Department Nurse Managers, and Emergency Department Staff members familiarize themselves with the contents of this document.
The 2010 Hampton Roads Mass Casualty Incident Response Guide is available in both paper and electronic formats.
