Disaster Response Practices: Guide to Mass Casualty/Mass Fatality Management Planning (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783031421464)

This book provides guidelines for emergency managers, responders, and health care professionals to establish a mass casualty/mass fatality (MC/MF) management plan. It identifies a need for a stronger and more global management structure for MC/MF events that includes standardized practices of identification, disposition, and possible repatriation to restore the situation to pre-event levels. This book covers this comprehensive process including disaster mortuary operational response teams (DMORTs), simple triage and rapid treatment (START) and national nurse response teams. It also demonstrates leadership in MC/MF events within government agencies, the public sector and international organizations featuring case studies, scenario questions and summaries of lessons learned.
