Overview
This one day workshop focuses on the survivors of mass casualty incidents (MCI) and mass fatality incidents (MFI) within our communities as well as those directly or indirectly impacted by these types of incidents. The course will address the concerns, needs, and the unique decisions necessary to start the recovery process. By embracing the “whole community approach” this course will discuss the non-governmental, faith-based, community- based, and governmental programs that coalesce into a successful operation. The intention for this training is to guide the participants through the lifecycle of caring for the living people experiencing an MCI/MFI, plan for the critical needs of the living, operate within a proposed structure, and offer an outline for response to MCI/MFI.
