Incident Command & Mass Casualty Incidents for EMS Providers Lecture

[@stacygerlich5807]

Hi. I noticed in this example you used “Branch.” Typically a Branch is set up when you have an incident that is too large for a Medical Group or the incident is spread out. Also, a Branch would be necessary when you Ned two Medical Groups. One Transportation Unit

Hi

[@aaronmadden4546]

I noticed in your examples that you did not have school shootings but I think that would be one

What would you do for someone who couldn't follow simple commands?

Refer to you incident or triage commander. Our protocol in Maryland is using any free personnel to manage them, assuming they don't have any life-threatening injuries. The goal should be to keep them out of harm's way and keep them from being disruptive, so it's a task you can delegate to almost anyone as long as they aren't quick to do something dumb (so I prefer to task EMTs or firefighters before cops). In an ideal scenario commanders will be aware of any personnel with media or mental health training and assign them to help with people who struggle in that particular fashion.
