EMS Mass Casualty Plan

This Plan is developed to assist first on-scene emergency responders in management of mass casualty incidents.  When multiple sites or events occur, each site or occurrence shall be managed through the separate mass casualty incident command structures, until such time as an area-wide command structure can be activated to integrate and coordinate the separate mass casualty incident commands.

This Plan does not replace or negate any mutual aid or other agreement currently in place between various Manitowoc County response agencies.

APPENDIX "A" - SCENE ORGANIZATION

Organizing a major EMS incident scene may require the designation of specific manageable areas.  If there are sufficient personnel, each area should have a manager designated to organize the activities of the area.  All area managers report directly to the EMS Command Officer.

A.         EMS Command Post

An Emergency Medical Services Command Post should be located in a safe area to facilitate access of the EMS Chief Officer to all subordinate staff and communications.  The EMS Chief Officer shall remain at the Command Post at all times except for initial triage sweep with Triage Officer.  (Consider using county hazmat command post/inflatable building or emergency vehicle for this purpose.)  Consider the placement of this vehicle at or close to the staging area.

B.         Triage Area

The triage area should be strategically placed in a safe location between the Command Post and the treatment area(s).  The Triage Officer shall only leave this area to perform initial triage sweep or to supervise patient care activities in the treatment area(s) or to confer with the EMS Chief Officer.

C.         Treatment Area(s)

The treatment area(s) should be organized in relation to the number of patients. 

1.         With larger numbers of patients, a separate Critical (RED TAG) treatment should be identified to allow advanced or more experienced EMS personnel and equipment to be concentrated in the "Critical” treatment area.  BLS may be mixed as needed

2.         A separate Serious (YELLOW TAG) treatment area, for serious but non-critical patients, may be staffed by ALS and BLS personnel.

3.         Patients categorized as "Minor" (GREEN TAG) require observation and at least one person to continually re-assess their condition.  Patients who are initially "minor" may develop complications and need to be upgraded to "Serious" or "Critical".  Consider placing these patients in a bus, near by building or location close by.  If a

bus is used these patients could go to a local clinic for an assessment and release.

D.         Equipment Staging Area

In certain major incident situations, an equipment staging area should be established.  As EMS units arrive at the staging area, backboards, splints, oxygen, and other portable equipment should be removed and taken to the equipment bank area.  This area should be strategically located between treatment and ambulance staging areas. 

E.         Ambulance Staging Area(s)

If necessary, one or more staging areas should be designated for EMS vehicles to park as they arrive at the scene.  This will prevent EMS vehicles from blocking each other and allow an organized movement of vehicles as directed by the Ambulance Loading Officer.  This area and a path to it should be cleared of all debris to allow safe ambulance operation.  It should be situated to minimize exposure of patients and personnel to toxic  fumes.  All vehicles entering this area shall back in with one attendant outside the vehicle acting as a guide to the driver for safety purposes, unless a turn around or dive through is available.  When leaving the area, an Ambulance Loading Officer shall walk directly in front of the vehicle to avoid running over debris, etc.  If you have a large event an ATV and private vehicle staging area might be needed.

F.         Ambulance Loading Area(s)

A loading area should be established in proximity to the treatment area(s) to allow ambulance vehicles to pull up, load and leave under the direction of the Transportation Officer(s).  This area and a path to it should be cleared of all debris to allow for safe ambulance operation and be so situated to minimize Exposure of patients and personnel to toxic exhaust fumes.

G.         Morgue

Deceased patients should be left at a specified site with all human remains and personal effects until directed by the County Coroner or designee, with the exception of those patients who die after being placed in the treatment area(s).  Movement of deceased patients from treatment area(s) to a temporary morgue shall occur only with permission of and at the direction of the County Coroner and facilitated by the Coroner Liaison Officer. 

A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER SHALL SECURE THE AREA AT ALL TIMES WHERE DECEASED PATIENTS ARE KEPT!

APPENDIX "B" - TRIAGE PROCEDURES

Treatment priority must be established to furnish maximum assistance to the greatest number of victims. 

Assignment to a specific category depends on the severity of injury and length of time required for treatment; the number of support personnel required to deliver satisfactory treatment; and the prospect for return to productive life and function.

 A.        Transportation of Patients From Scene

1.         Red Tag Patients    - CRITICAL

2.         Yellow Tag Patients - SERIOUS

3.         Green Tag Patients  - MINOR

 B.        Patient Injury Categories

See next page for Triage Guide.

1.         RED TAG PATIENTS (Critical or Immediate)

Patients that are salvageable and may return to society as they were prior to event.

2.         YELLOW TAG PATIENTS (Serious-Second Priority)

Patients that require medical care, but several hours will not result as to loss of life or limb. 

3.         GREEN TAG PATIENTS (Minor- Last priority)

They are ambulatory and may be directed away from the treatment site and might be directed to a clinic for an assessment or simple treatment.

4.         WHITE/BLACK TAG PATIENTS (DOA)

Patients whose injuries are so extensive that even with optimal care, the prognosis for recovery or restoration of normal function is poor.  They should receive simple "custodial care" and be kept as comfortable as possible if personnel permit.

APPENDIX "C" - EMS MCI RESPONSE KIT

Four EMS mass casualty incident response kits ("black boxes") are stored in the EMS trailer at the Manitowoc Fire Department for easy and fast deployment.  Triage tags are kept on all county ambulances and first responder rigs as basic equipment.   Additional basic starting kits consisting of triage tags, clipboards, job descriptions and vests are kept at the following locations and can be requested through JDC who will dispatch the appropriate unit:
