Listen "Hermon Mountain MCI Response"
Episode Synopsis
This document outlines Hermon Mountain Ski Patrol's protocol for responding to Mass Casualty Incidents (MCIs), which are defined as events overwhelming available resources. The protocol is structured around four core pillars: recognition, triage using the START system, incident command transfer to Hermon Fire Department, and establishing a Unified Command liaison. It details operational roles for patrollers as medical responders and transport teams and uses the 2010 Sugarloaf chairlift derailment as a case study to illustrate these principles in action. The guide emphasizes rapid assessment, prioritization, communication, and collaboration to ensure effective management of MCI events.
