This addendum document describes the Model Uniform Core Criteria (MUCC) for Mass Casualty Incident Triage, which are 24 key rules to help emergency workers sort and treat many patients quickly when resources are limited. It explains how MUCC makes it easier for different teams to work together during big emergencies by using common steps and language. The guidelines cover sorting patients, giving lifesaving care, and labeling them by urgency so everyone knows who needs help first. It also highlights the importance of simple systems that can be used in any situation or age group.
