The State is currently adjusting its existing Mass Casualty Incident plan to allow for the integration of additional state and federal (including military) assets into the response system. Mass casualty planning uses processes, protocol, resources and definitive care facilities that may be different than those used in the routine medical environment. The plan will articulate how each of the various levels of resources will be allocated to manage the incident. The State will maintain responsibility for overall management of the health and medical aspects of a mass casualty incident that exhausts local capacity/capability. This will be achieved by close coordination of resources at all levels. It is crucial that health and medical activities by on-scene command, local and state emergency management, the three forward operations centers (JIATF, JTF, and SOC), regional medical command and the various other agency command centers be coordinated. Health Command will be closely linked to the JIATF and will attempt to assure coordination among these various command and control groups. This will be accomplished by activities which feed information to and pull information from the other centers and support on-scene operations. Every effort will be made to create a seamless incident management system that will support health care facility resource needs.
