About the Course

What is a Mass Casualty Incident (MCI)?

An MCI exists when the number of patients who need treatment exceeds the number of patients the EMS system can serve with resources on hand and within a critical period of time.

Is Your Staff Prepared to Respond?

If your EMS staff had to respond to an MCI, would they be prepared to assess and treat the injuries of all patients in an expeditious manner?

STEP UP to Mass Casualty Incidents is a program developed to train EMS providers on rendering patient care on a priority basis in an MCI.  The program includes triage approaches for day-to-day emergency situations and MCIs; a complete review of the horizontal triage approach for MCI; and the structure and organization of the Incident Command System, focusing on the EMS branch.

Three Training Modules

1. Transition from Day-to-Day EMS to Horizontal Triage at an MCI
2. Four Levels of Triage at an MCI
3. EMS in the Incident Command System

Prepare your EMS team for responding to an MCI by educating them with this valuable training tool.
