华盛顿特区 - 美国国土安全部的紧急准备和响应局局长迈克尔·D·布朗（Michael D.（MCI）。新的独立学习课程，EMS Operations at Multi-Casualty Incidentsis a four-hour, Web-based course that addresses preparedness planning; management of the incident; safe and efficient triage, treatment, and transportation of patients; and the de-escalation of the response. It is not intended to provide detailed steps in the care of patients.
“Hardly a day passes without reading or hearing about a multiple casualty incident occurring somewhere in the nation,” said Brown. “President Bush, Secretary Ridge and I continue to ensure that all first responders continue to receive courses like this to support their efforts to protect and better serve our communities.”
Upon successful completion of this course, the participant/student will be able to:
- 描述多个伤亡事件的特征。
- Describe the types and indicators of CBRNE incidents.
- Describe the steps of responding to a Multiple Casualty Incident, including preparedness planning, triage, treatment, transportation, and incident demobilization.

An MCI can occur as a result of many situations, including a transportation crash, the collapse of a building or bleachers, a civil disturbance, a severe weather event, a hazardous material release, or a terrorist attack to name a few. Since September 11, 2001, EMS responders are keenly aware of the dangers of MCIs and the additional challenges presented by terrorist attacks involving chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive (CBRNE) agents. The course includes information on safely and effectively dealing with an MCI resulting from an attack involving a CBRNE agent.
EMS subject matter experts from across the country worked with training specialists at FEMA’s U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) to develop this course. The course can be found on USFA’s Virtual Campus athttp://www.training.fema.gov.
