Produktbeschreibung

Mass Fatality and Casualty Incidents: A Field Guide presents in checklist form the response to be carried out after events which result in mass fatalities and are as varied as: the Oklahoma bombing, the crash of a jet airliner, or the attack on the World Trade Center. All cities in the United States will have to have a mass fatality disaster plan in effect by the end of 1999. Mr. Jensen is a leading authority in this area and provides training for police, fire and hospital personnel (including EMTs and social workers), local, state, federal and international emergency planners and responders. This book details actions that are part of a mass fatality incident response. Specifically, they are the actions that begin once life and property preservation cease and continue through to the release of the deceased. Thus, primary focus is on search, recovery, medicolegal investigation, personal effects operations, family assistance operations, and media operations. Ancillary steps include logistics support, security, responder protection, attitudes and coping with mass death. TOC:Introduction.- Incident overview - A quick look.- Incident management.- Coping with response to mass death.- Responder protection.- Search operations.- Recovery operations.- Morgue operations.- Personal effects operations.- Family assistance.- Media operations.- Logistics operations.- Federal response resources.- Report completion and litigation investigation.- Incident response equipment.- Appendix B: Suggested resources.
