About

This webinar discusses how mass casualty incidents often involve multiple agencies and regions and necessitate a standardized response. The Model Uniform Core Criteria for Mass Casualty Incident Triage (MUCC) offers guidelines for triage systems. Recommended by national EMS bodies, MUCC instructional guidelines aid educators in teaching EMS personnel. A panel of experts talks about why it's important to use evidence-based systems in emergencies, what teachers need to know about MUCC, and lessons learned from using the new guidelines.
