MEDICAL
TREATMENT
FOR MASS CASUALTY INCIDENT
SITUATION:
The Brigade CP receives notification that there has been an explosion and fire and there are numerous casualties enroute to the hospital.
EVENT(S):
1. A commercial trash truck arrives at the front gate with 20 civilian casualties.
2. Four FLAs arrive with American and civilian casualties.
3. A local or national political figure is slightly wounded in the explosion. He is escorted to the BSA by U. S. State Department security officers.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
EVENT(S):
1. Secure the area, unload casualties and perform first aid. Do not waste time trying to determine the source of the incident. Establish a triage operation. Execute the medical SOP. The medical ROE states that civilians who are injured as a result of MNF actions and operations are to be treated and cared for by MNF medical personnel and facilities. The exception is when there is potential for loss of life. If there is potential for loss of life (no matter who caused the injury), MNF forces are required to perform life- saving treatment and pass the individual over to local medical personnel as soon as possible. NOTE: There are two civilian hospitals in Port-au- Prince and two - three medical clinics. The medical service personnel need to coordinate for the relief of these agreements and procedures with Port- au-Prince officials and the 10th Mtn Surgeon as a part of the ADVON.
2. Same as 1.
3. Same as 1.
ROE Limitations and Restrictions:
