Disaster Management and Emergency Preparedness (DMEP) Manual
This manual has been developed for participants in the the
DMEP course. The course teaches an all-hazards approach to disaster
management, focusing on key principles that apply to all types of disasters.
This one-day course emphasizes the unique role of surgeons in mass casualty
situations, and addresses planning, triage, incident command, injury patterns
and pathophysiology, and consideration for special populations. The first
edition of the DMEP manual was released in May 2010. DMEP course participants will receive a copy of the
manual.
