Fatalities Incident Response Planning Course
Specific plans for the management of mass fatalities are critically deficient
in most community disaster response plans. The Institute’s programming
addresses the essential elements of planning for response to a mass fatalities
event. It is designed to assist planning-level officials from various
governmental jurisdictions, public service, private sector business, and
voluntary organizations
to understand the concepts of a multi-faceted, integrated response plan.
These plans must promote multi-disciplinary, multi-agency and multi-jurisdictional
response efforts that are thoroughly integrated at all levels of government.
It is the goal of the National Mass Fatalities Institute to assist community
leaders, through the collaborative planning process, to assess, establish, and
maintain integrated community resources that will facilitate recovery and healing
following a mass fatalities event.
