A Mass Casualty Care Strategy for Biological Terrorism Incidents

Abstract

This pamphlet provides information on the Community Outreach (CO) component of the Modular Emergency Medical System (MEMS). MEMS is an approach to disaster medical response, intended to assist emergency planners and health care providers in planning and coordinating an effective medical response following a large-scale bioterrorism incident in a civilian community. The CO component is complementary to the Neighborhood Emergency Help Center (NEHC) of the MEMS. The CO component is intended to serve that part of the community not reached through NEHCs.
