The 80 rules you need to prepare for action in a medical
disaster
Here are 80 disaster management rules to reflect on, remember
and follow in the immediate aftermath of an incident involving mass
casualties. Each rule is a single-page long, providing the
essential information to inform the most common critical decisions
you will have to make in either a civilian or military
environment.
Written by clinicians with deep clinical and operational
experience, these rules are concise evidence-based guidelines for
all medical personnel dealing with disasters at the scene or in
hospital. Based on the Major Incident Medical Management and
Support system widely adopted in the UK, mainland Europe,
Australasia and NATO, they are both authoritative and
effective.
