About

This checklist assists hospitals in developing or updating plans to manage mass casualty incidents (MCIs) that exceed normal healthcare capacity. It emphasizes a "Whole Community approach," integrating public and private health partners, including hospitals, EMS providers, long-term care facilities, mental health services, and more. The document outlines the need for community-wide collaboration to enhance surge capacity, ensuring the healthcare system can effectively respond to and recover from large-scale emergencies. It also highlights the importance of specialized planning for incidents involving specific patient populations, such as children and burn victims.
