CCH: Mass Casualty Management Systems Strategies and guidelines for building health sector capacity (33 min)

Mass Casualty Management Systems Strategies and guidelines for building health sector capacity (33 min)

Read sections "Planning for mass casualty management at national level", "Provincial/State (Intermediate) level", "Community and Local Government Level", and "Health Care Facility Level" (pages 16-29 to understand planning issues for mass casualty management on national, regional, and local levels, and at the level of individual health care facilities. As you read, think about the importance of "scaling up" for an increase in climate change-related disasters, such as hurricanes and floods.
