Multi-casualty
incident causes devastation to many people at one time. Generally,
any incident where emergency resources be it personnel or equipment
are less than the number and severity of individuals come under the
above category.
Multi
casualty incidents require proper action so that more and more lives
can be saved. There is a large number of disaster management
organization which train individuals and professionals to handle such
mass casualties with patience and intelligence. In such incidents,
lot many people get displaced from their homes. There is a shortage
of food water and medications in such conditions.
The
Fire is also such a mass casualty incident where many lives are at
stake. The fire
rehab department works for fighting with emergencies. The
department train personnel for firefighting services which includes
immediate medical attention like dehydration, treatment for smoke
inhalation, heat stroke, heart attack, etc.
Any
multi
casualty incident claims a lot of lives. These can be either
natural like floods, earthquake, wildfire, etc. or man-made like
explosion, plane crash, chemical spill, etc. Whatever is the reason,
the loss of life and property is just irreversible and therefore, we
can just hope that these incidents do not repeat with anybody and
anywhere in the future.
