This document provides information to paramedic students about responding to major incidents at West Midlands Ambulance Service (WMAS). It discusses the purpose of major incident training and examples of past incidents in the WMAS area. It outlines the roles and responsibilities of different emergency services at an incident. It also covers topics like triage, decontamination, civil disorder response, health and safety considerations for rail and helicopter incidents, and the specialized resources available to WMAS for mass casualty response. Confidential information is also discussed that should not be shared outside of those who need to know operationally.
Major incidents are events that require extraordinary emergency response efforts due to the number, severity, or type of casualties. They present a serious threat to public health or cause significant disruption to healthcare services. Major incidents go through several phases from pre-impact preparation to post-impact recovery and mitigation. The response follows a similar process with commands established at different tiers - bronze at the incident site, silver for the entire scene, and gold remotely. At the scene, safety of responders, survivors, and the site take highest priority. Communications are critical and various methods are used including radios, phones, and visual signals. Casualties are triaged and treated according to priority levels before evacuation to hospitals based on their condition. Multiple

The document discusses disasters and disaster management in India. It defines disasters as events involving large-scale loss of life and property from natural hazards like floods, cyclones, and earthquakes or industrial and transport accidents. Disaster management involves preparedness, response, mitigation, and recovery efforts. In India, disaster management is organized through various committees at the national, state, and local levels involving multiple agencies. The document analyzes past major disasters in India like cyclones and earthquakes, and the response and management efforts. It emphasizes the importance of timely maintenance of infrastructure, preparedness planning, training, and coordination with other agencies to improve disaster response and management.
Disaster management approaches in chhattishgarhShubham Agrawal
This document outlines disaster management approaches in Chhattisgarh, India. It defines a disaster as an event that risks human life loss of over 10 people, exceeds available resources, or causes over 1 Crore (10 million) rupees in property damage. Disaster preventive measures include following construction codes and having multiple evacuation routes. The disaster management plan involves assessing risk, coordinating with emergency services, raising alarms, and appointing personnel for emergency control and response both on and off site. When a disaster occurs, coordinators report to the control room and technical and support staff take action according to their roles. The conclusion calls for improved access to standardized disaster information across organizations to enhance decision making.

A DISASTER
As per Disaster Management Act 2005
“ A catastrophe, mishap, calamity or grave
occurrence in any area, arising from natural or
man made causes, or by accident or negligence
which results in substantial loss of life or human
suffering or damage to, or degradation of,
environment, and is of such a nature or
magnitude as to be beyond the coping capacity of
the community of the affected area.”

A DISASTER
Anything unusual involving large scale loss
and destruction of life and property
Floods, Cyclones, Earthquakes, Land slides
Industrial Mishap, Public Enemy Action

and property
Norm is of treating 50 injuries; grievous &

PREREQUISITES OF A DISASTER
MANAGEMENT POLICY
Speedy and precise dissemination of
information
Well defined roles
Availability of adequate resources
Extensive teamwork and coordinated
efforts (Significance of leadership)
10. 10
DISASTER RESCUE
• AIM OF RESCUE OPERATIONS IS TO
SAVE LIFE AND MINIMIZE FURTHER
INJURY TO PERSONS AND DAMAGE TO
PROPERTY
THE PSYCHOLOGY OF RESCUE
• Anxiety and fear (both victim and rescuer)
• Psychological needs of the disaster victim are
important.
11. 11
DISASTER RESCUE
• RESCUE WORKERS:-
Three categories of rescue workers:-
(A) Survivors
• The potential for good is enormous but the danger
inherent in rescue work by untrained personnel is
also enormous.
(B) Untrained Personnel
• They often bring necessary resources with them and
can be very effective if brought under control and
properly supervised.
(C) Trained Personnel i.e. Railway Team, Police, Fire,
Paramilitary forces etc.
• More quickly they arrive, less time for the first two
groups to aggravate the situation.
12. 13
DISASTERS-SOME PITFALLS
• Informing to and role of medical officers
• Managing communications,lighting,water & food
• Preservation of clues
• Relief Train
• Ex:Gratia
• Photography
• Number of dead and injured
• Communicating details to their kith & kin and
arrangements for bringing them to site
Others
• Prima-facie cause
• Expected time of restoration
• Spelling out assistance required
13. 14
LIMITATIONS OF IR
Extrication of trapped passengers/bodies
requiring equipment not available in ARME
Vastness of IR network, difficulty of terrain,
non-existence of approach roads, tunnels
Requirement of suitable power for the
ARME/ART
Golden hour traumatic period of critical
traumatic patients
14. 15
WHAT IS GOLDEN HOUR ?
Most trauma patients can be saved if
bleeding is effectively stopped and blood
pressure restored within an hour.
It is likely that patients who have experienced
shock and remained in that state of shock for
long duration will die. Surgical intervention
within that first one hour is therefore crucial
for increasing the patients’ chances of
survival.
This hour called the “Golden Hour” begins the
moment the injury occurs.
