International Military-Civilian Collaboration for Disaster Medicine
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 June 2012
Extract
Throughout the world, experience is growing in the development of plans for military-civilian collaboration in disaster preparedness. This involves the complex problems associated with the coordination of various components of military and civilian Emergency Medical Services (EMS) systems and organizational differences between countries.
EMS are dependent on relationships between hospitals, police-fire-ambulance services, and municipal, county and state governments. In an emergency, their integration is accomplished in: (1) detection and assessment; (2) call for ambulance and hospital; (3) organization; and (4) emergency medical treatments.
