The Role of Staging at MCIs

This webcast focuses on the staging of vehicles, equipment and people, a critical but often neglected area of mass casualty incidents (MCI). Although caregivers do an exceptional job of treating and triaging victims, the essential function of rapid transportation often gets delayed because of inefficient or ineffective staging and deployment of resources. Heightman offers important tips to make these functions easy, inexpensive and effective.
