Development of Prepositioned Burn Care-Specific Disaster Resources for a Burn Mass Casualty Incident

The authors used quarterly regional healthcare coalition meetings as “focus groups” to help understand how to prepare emergency responders and local hospitals for burn mass casualty incidents (BMCIs). Participants noted the relationship between the lack of burn patients and related wound dressings. Group consensus led to the creation of a storage kit and supply caches designed to support a BMCI response.
