Description:

"The purpose of this interim planning guidance is to provide valuable information and insight to help public policy and health system leaders at all levels prepare for and respond to a mass casualty event (MCE) caused by terrorist use of explosives (TUE). Medical preparations for an MCE have traditionally focused on the scene and prehospital sectors. Comprehensive mass casualty care, from a health systems perspective, has received far less attention and has evolved separately from the rest of the emergency response community. This document provides practical information to promote comprehensive mass casualty care in the event of a TUE. It is not intended to reflect U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) policy but, rather, to provide public policy and health systems leaders with options to consider when planning their response to an MCE. This document is a collaboration between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Preparedness Leadership Initiative of Harvard University. CDC provides additional specific mass casualty and blast-injury related material that complements this document. These materials include "Blast Injuries: Fact Sheets for Professionals," "In a Moment's Notice: Surge Capacity for Terrorist Bombings: Challenges and Proposed Solutions," and the "Bombings: Injury Patterns and Care" course." - p. 4
