About

The Burn Surge Planning Toolkit helps hospitals and healthcare groups prepare for emergencies with many burn injuries. It describes how to plan, train staff, and get the right supplies. The toolkit also explains how to work with other hospitals and experts during a crisis. It includes steps for treating patients, moving them safely between places, and caring for special groups like children. There are guides on handling mental health needs after a disaster too. The toolkit is designed to ensure the best care possible when regular resources are overwhelmed by large-scale burn incidents.
