Mass Fatality Incidents: A Guide for Human Forensic Identification

摘要

Recent events and the emergent threat of continued terrorist activity emphasize the need for public-sector agencies to plan for a coordinated response to a mass fatality event. Agencies small and large, urban and rural, need to be prepared for an event that will exceed their operational capacity. In an effort to support excellence across local and State public safety agencies, the National Institute of Justice, the research, development, and evaluation arm of the U.S. Department of Justice, initiated a national effort through the National Center for Forensic Science to develop a consensus document that would offer guidance for the development of coordinated plans for responding to an incident involving mass fatalities.
