As the term implies, a multiple-casualty incident (MCI) refers to a situation involving two or more patients. You are most likely to encounter MCIs involving only a few patients, such as a motor vehicle crash involving a driver and a passenger. MCIs can also be large-scale events, involving dozens or even hundreds of patients. Examples of MCIs include:
• Floods
• Fires
• Earthquakes
• Tornadoes
• Hurricanes
• Explosions
• Structural collapses
• Train derailments
• Airline crashes
• Hazardous material incidents
Incidents of this magnitude can strain the emergency response resources of local communities. Coping effectively with an MCI requires a plan that enables you to acquire and manage the necessary personnel, equipment, and supplies.
