Programme

Disaster Preparedness

Coordination and readiness for large-scale medical emergencies, from road crashes with multiple casualties to floods and fires.

When many people are hurt at once, coordination saves lives. Our disaster preparedness work helps facilities and communities plan for mass-casualty events before they happen.

  • Triage principles for sorting patients by urgency
  • Simulation exercises and table-top drills with local responders
  • Communication trees linking communities, ambulance services and hospitals
  • Community volunteers trained to support first response safely
