Establishment and identification of incident command
Rapid scene assessment, reports, triage and treatment
Use of pre-plans and checklists to ensure implementation and completion of key objectives
Staging of emergency vehicles and personnel\
Use of limited/abbreviated communications and optimal relay of information to:
o Incoming and on-scene units and key personnel
o Communications centers
o Hospital emergency departments
Problems encountered at actual MCI scenes will be explored, along with steps that can be taken by
