About

This document describes how to use the JumpSTART© method for triaging children during disasters, particularly during mass casualty incidents (MCI). The training scenarios help healthcare workers quickly decide which injured children need help first. It explains step-by-step instructions and gives examples of different situations they might face. The goal is to make sure that kids who are most in need get care as soon as possible, even when there are many patients at once.
