Disaster and Emergency Medicine a?? A Conceptual Introduction

摘要

Disasters and Mass Casualty Incidents (MCI) occur out of the blue, most times without warning, and in a wide scope of locations. Each disaster is different from the rest, both in the past and in the future. This creates a situation where the experience accumulated in one place is relatively small and localized in the long-haul, and it is therefore our duty to learn and share information, knowledge and experience accumulated in the over time, from all disasters and events, with one major common shared goal in mind – to allow everyone to be better prepared for the future and allow for a greater ability to save lives and prevent injuries and damage.
