This interview discusses how Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Teams (DMORT) help identify and return the remains of people who die in disasters, like hurricanes or pandemics. DMORT teams include doctors, dentists, and other experts who work together to support families and make sure loved ones are treated with respect. They use portable morgues and special centers to gather information from families. The article also explains how deaths are counted differently in each state after a disaster, making it hard to know the true number of disaster-related deaths.
