CDC Roundtable on the Identification of Emerging Strategies for Hospital Management of Mass Casualties from a Radiological Incident (2002 May 14–16 : Atlanta, GA)

In May 2002, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) brought together public health, medical and other scientific experts to discuss practical strategies that hospitals can use in preparation for mass casualties from a radiological incident. These strategies will provide the basis for guidelines on this topic. CDC will then work with the local and state health departments and other partners to distribute these guidelines.

This report is a summary of the participants’ contributions; it represents neither a consensus of the roundtable nor the opinion of the CDC, and may contain errors in fact.
