Introduction
All disasters are considered local. All Virginia jurisdictions are required by the Code of
Virginia to have an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). The EOP for each jurisdiction will
delineate the Scope, Jurisdiction and Authority of each entity in their plan. This planning
tool is not meant to take the place of the jurisdiction’s Emergency Operations Plan. This
document is intended to be a supplement to planning already taking place and should be
integrated into those efforts. The ODEMSA MCI Committee encourages EMS response
agencies and hospitals to stay involved with their locality in developing and enhancing the
jurisdictional Emergency Operation Plans. The committee also requests EMS response
agencies and hospital‘s staff, to include the emergency department, stay current in the
National Incident Management System training. The combination of these two efforts will
produce a better prepared EMS system.
EMS efforts in a multiple or mass casualty incident will begin with the first arriving unit and
expand to meet the needs of the incident. The first arriving unit should establish Incident
Command. After establishing Incident Command, the unit is responsible for assessing
scene safety, conducting a scene size-up and sending that information to the Emergency
Communications/911 Center, establishing the triage and treatment areas, and beginning to
triage victims.
The three priorities of incident management are:
√ Life Safety
√ Incident Stabilization
√ Property Conservation/Incident Mitigation
The incident command structure will expand or contract as necessary based on the size
and complexity of the incident, and maintain the span of control.
Only those
functions/positions that are necessary will be filled and each element must have a person
in charge.
In most multiple or mass casualty incidents (MCIs), the following ICS functions/positions
should be staffed: incident command, staging area, extrication, triage, treatment and
transportation. In a small scale incident, one person may assume more than one function,
(i.e., triage and treatment may be done by the same person or transportation and staging
may be handled by the same person.) In a larger incident, the Incident or Unified
Commander may establish a Medical Group or Medical Branch to oversee some or all of
the above functions.
Larger agencies may be capable of managing greater numbers of patients without mutual
aid whereas other agencies may need mutual aid resources from several jurisdictions to
manage an incident of the same magnitude.
Success of the MCI Plan depends upon effective cooperation, organization and planning
among health care professionals and administrators in hospitals and out-of-hospital
3
March 2014
agencies, state and local government representatives, and individuals and/or organizations
associated with disaster-related support agencies in the planning district(s) and related
jurisdictions which comprise the region.
The MCI Plan will be reviewed each year by the Committee's Operations Group,
referencing the MCI Plan Memorandum of Understanding. Proposed revisions,
amendments and other changes will be referred to the full Committee for its action.
Updated copies will be provided by ODEMSA.
Adoption of Plan & Memorandum of
Understanding
Participation in the plan shall be through the adoption by the appropriate governing body
and signing by an authorized representative of the Central Virginia Mass Casualty Incident
Plan Memorandum of Understanding, as most recently revised.
Copies of the Memorandum of Understanding and this Mutual Aid Response Guide shall
be provided to each locality and hospital by ODEMSA. A copy should be maintained within
each Emergency Department and all licensed EMS response vehicles in the ODEMSA
region
ODEMSA shall be responsible for providing the signatory agencies with copies of the most
recent updated Memorandum and Mutual Aid Response Guide, and not more than 60
days following any revision(s).
Copies of the Memorandum and one copy of the Mutual Aid Response Guide shall be filed
by ODEMSA with the Virginia Office of Emergency Medical Services.
In the case of a hospital, a resolution of adoption shall include an appendix that provides
for appropriate adjunctive or emergency privileges to be accorded to attending physicians
during an MCI. Required of Joint Commission accredited hospitals – JC Std: EM.02.02.13
EP1-2.

Purpose
√ To provide a standardized action plan assisting in the coordination and/or
management of any regional EMS mutual aid response to a MCI.
√ To ensure an effective utilization of the various human and material
resources from various jurisdictions involved in a regional mutual aid EMS
response or MCI that affects a part or the entire region.
√ To ensure the largest number of survivors in mass casualty situations or
health care facility evacuations.
The goal of the ODEMSA/Central Virginia Mass Casualty Incident Plan, as stated in the
accompanying Memorandum of Understanding, is to prepare on a regional basis for an
interoperable response by prehospital and hospital agencies to effectively and safely
manage a Mass Casualty Incident (MCI). It includes patients who are involved in any
emergency evacuation of any health care facility in the Old Dominion Emergency Medical
Services Alliance (ODEMSA) Region and/or any such facility outside the region that is a
signatory to the ODEMSA/Central Virginia MCI Plan's Memorandum of Understanding.
The Old Dominion EMS Alliance is defined as the 9,000-square-mile region made up of
Virginia Planning Districts 13, 14, 15 and 19.
This Response Guide, as most recently amended, will serve as the basis for hospital and
out-of-hospital response under the ODEMSA/Central Virginia MCI Plan (hereafter referred
to as the MCI Plan) Success of the MCI Plan depends upon effective cooperation,
organization and planning among all stakeholders in the planning districts which comprise
the ODEMSA Region as provided in the Code of Virginia, § 32.1-111.11.
The ODEMSA MCI Plan may be employed in the following circumstances:
√
√
√
A disaster or MCI is of such magnitude that it overwhelms the
resources of the jurisdiction having authority.
The disaster or MCI is multi-jurisdictional and overwhelms the
resources of one or more of these jurisdictions.
To assist in the evacuation and care of patients from any health
care facility within ODEMSA region at the request of the
jurisdiction having authority. This Plan assumes all health care
facilities have an Emergency Operation Plan.
5
March 2014
Scope
This Plan standardizes operations during multiple and mass casualty incidents. It is
intended to be an “all hazards” plan to meet the needs of any multiple or mass casualty
incident regardless of what caused the incident. If necessary, these procedures can be
modified based on the number of patients, the cause or severity of injuries, and special
circumstances involved in the incident. The initial response will be determined by the
number of patients. Accordingly, the plan provides the framework for organizing the prehospital and hospital response systems to effectively respond to and assist in managing
patients generated in any MCI situation in the ODEMSA region.
Authority & References
The Old Dominion EMS Alliance is one of eleven Regional EMS Councils established
within the Code of Virginia, § 32.1-111.11. Created in 1980, ODEMSA is charged by law
"with the development and implementation of an efficient and effective regional emergency
medical services delivery system" to include the regional coordination of emergency
medical disaster planning and response.
The Board of Directors of ODEMSA has assigned to its ODEMSA MCI Committee, and
that Committee's Operations Group, the responsibility of effectively fulfilling those planning
and response functions and with the overall maintenance and oversight of the ODEMSA
MCI Plan.
General Considerations and Assumptions
All agencies and other identities and/or jurisdictions will operate during an Incident or
Evacuation under the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as endorsed by the
Central Virginia MCI Committee and taught within the ODEMSA region.
The resources needed to mitigate multiple simultaneous incidents are dependent on the
size and complexity of the incidents as well as their location. Expected mutual aid
resources may not be available or may be significantly delayed. Providers must be
prepared to sustain their patients for long periods of time. Non-traditional modes of
transportation and alternate patient transport destinations will need to be considered.
Health Care Facility Considerations
Predetermined guidelines and the proximity and capabilities of appropriate health care
facilities will be the primary considerations of MCI Medical Control when designating the
health care facilities to which patients are sent during any local or regional emergency
situation that results in the activation of the MCI Plan.
Predetermined EMS mutual aid responses will be employed by hospital and prehospital
members when any of the signatory health care facilities must be evacuated under the
6
March 2014
MCI Plan. Facility evacuations will be coordinated with the jurisdiction having the
authority’s Emergency Operations Center.
Local Assumptions
Jurisdictions and/or other agencies will respond to a mutual aid request from the host
locality with appropriate personnel and equipment as available when the MCI Plan is
activated. However, the response will be dispatched by the local Emergency
Communications Center (ECC) and will not reduce any locality's own EMS response
capabilities below established, predetermined levels.
When considering their responses to activation of the MCI Plan, member localities and/or
EMS agencies will be expected to maintain their own emergency medical response
capabilities to meet local needs.
Hospital and prehospital components in the region should participate in annual training
exercises of the MCI Plan.
Concept of MCI Response
Trigger Points For Requesting Assistance -Types of MCI(s)
Mass Casualty Incidents within the ODEMSA region are classified by types using the
NIMS typing matrix:
√
Type I- 100 patients and greater
√
Type II- 50 to 99 patients
√
Type III- 25 to 49 patients
√
Type IV- 10 to 24 patients
√
Type V- 5 to 9 patients
Deployment and Mobilization System and Structure - Activating the Plan
The locality designated Incident Commander will activate the MCI Plan using their
Emergency Communications Center.
Medical Control will activate and manage the hospital component of the MCI Plan. This
branch is activated by calling Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center (VCUMC)
at 804-828-8888.
Information required by Medical Control is:
√
Agency name.
√
Jurisdiction and location of incident.
7
March 2014
√
A brief summary of the incident to include the number of patients and Patient
Generator.
√
A callback phone number and point of contact.
Response Procedures
Local Emergency Operations Plans
Each jurisdiction shall develop and implement, as part of their state-mandated
Emergency Operations Plan as outlined in § 44-146.19, Letter E, a local and/or
regional MCI plan to address each type of MCI. This plan should include:
√
List of local target hazards
√
Incident/Event hazard analysis for their jurisdiction
√
Mutual aid agreements and matrix of agency response
√
The jurisdiction’s Emergency Operations Center activation
√
A list traditional and non-traditional resources
EMS Needs Outside of MCI
This MCI Plan assumes all licensed EMS agencies will respond to mutual aid
requests for resources based on their home locality’s dispatch protocols and
operational procedures. No agency or other responder shall violate the policies,
directives, rules, or other governing documents of their agency or jurisdiction.
Regional Command Structure
NIMS/ICS System
All personnel operating under this plan will operate under the Incident Command System
and the Central Virginia MCI Plan.
Notification Procedures and Roles:
Hospital(s)
MCI Medical Control – VCU Medical Center will serve as primary MCI Medical Control for
the ODEMSA region in the event of an incident that requires activation of the MCI
Plan. CJW Chippenham Medical Center and Southside Regional Medical Center will
serve as backup MCI Medical Control when appropriate. For the purposes of the MCI
plan, the MCI Medical Control will contact the regional Hospital coordinator to discern if the
Regional Healthcare Coordination Center (RHCC) needs to be activated.
VCU Medical Center may designate the backup acute care medical facilities to act as
primary MCI Medical Control for any appropriate reason including better
8
March 2014
communications, better or closer geographical location to the MCI site, or because of
any other circumstances that would be in the best interest of effective patient care.
Representatives of participating hospitals will establish Hospital Triage Categories and
Mutual Aid Capability tables to support the first wave concept (first 30 minutes after an
event has been identified). These tables will be reviewed annually and will be confirmed or
adjusted at the time of the incident with the intent of possibly lessening the impact to that
facility if at all possible.
Upon request from MCI Medical Control, hospitals that are activated or alerted under the
MCI Plan will provide confirmation or adjusted information on the predetermined numbers
of patients they can accommodate in the three Triage categories: Red, Yellow and Green
(Hospital Triage Categories), or confirm or adjust the predetermined numbers and
categories of patients they can receive from another hospital through Mutual Aid in the
event of an Evacuation (Mutual Aid Capability) through Web EOC.
MCI Medical Control will assign patient destination facilities based on the required level of
care, the capabilities of the receiving facility, and proximity to the patient location. The
levels will be contained in the suggested Hospital Triage Level and Mutual Aid Capability
tables that are agreed to in advance by hospital officials
In the absence of on-line medical direction, out-of-hospital adult and pediatric patient care
will be in accordance with the responding agencies Prehospital Patient Care Protocols, as
most recently amended and approved by the respective Operational Medical Director.
MCI Medical Control also will be responsible for any on-line medical control during patient
transport to designated receiving hospitals. On-line medical direction likely will be affected
by limited access to the HEAR radio system during an MCI.
Hospitals will be responsible for providing definitive patient care to the levels of their
capabilities during and after the incident.
Prehospital
Transportation of patients under the MCI Plan during an incident or evacuation will be
done by licensed prehospital EMS agencies operating under Incident Commander.
Units and personnel involved in mutual aid response to a regional MCI or Evacuation will
be dispatched through the responding agency’s Emergency Communications Center.
No agency or personnel will self-dispatch. Agencies or personnel shall respond as
designated within their locality or agency’s emergency operations plan.
Each agency will operate under their agency’s Operation Medical Director’s (OMD)
purview using their agency’s protocols.
Prehospital EMS agencies and/or localities agree to respond with personnel and
equipment when the MCI Plan is activated, but are not be expected to reduce local
9
March 2014
emergency response capabilities below acceptable levels. When considering their
responses to requests for assistance under the MCI Plan, localities and/or individual
prehospital EMS agencies will be expected to maintain their emergency response
capabilities to meet local needs.
The personnel responding to an MCI or Evacuation will be required to carry photoidentification, documentation of certification, and proof of affiliation.
Any agency or other entity responding to an MCI or Evacuation will be responsible for
maintaining all medical and operational documentation. Documentation both operational
and medical will be made readily available to the Incident Commander, or their designee.
In the absence of on-line or on-scene medical direction, out-of-hospital patient care will be
rendered in accordance with the agency's Prehospital Patient Care Protocols, as most
recently revised. Documentation will be done on an accepted Virginia Prehospital Patient
Care Reports and/or the Virginia Triage Tag.
The numbers and types of patients which member hospitals will be prepared to receive are
suggested in predetermined Hospital Triage Levels and Mutual Aid Capability table –
found in the Annex section of this plan.
Decision Making Authority
Agencies or personnel shall respond as designated within their locality or agency’s
emergency operations plan. Each agency will operate under their agency’s Operation
Medical Director’s (OMD) purview using their agency’s protocols.
Special Resources Response
Health Care Facility Evacuations
When a hospital must evacuate any number of patients on a temporary basis, the following
shall apply:
The administrative staff and/or Hospital Incident Commander (HIC) for the facility being
evacuated will work in Unified Command with the jurisdiction having authority’s Incident
Commander and in coordination with Medical Control to ensure a safe and orderly
evacuation.
Physicians whose patients have been evacuated may receive Courtesy Medical Privileges
from the receiving hospital for the duration of the emergency. These privileges and
procedures should be stipulated in predetermined and negotiated protocols. They should
be maintained by the administration for those facilities.
Medical records will accompany each evacuated patient whenever possible. (Note: there
may be occasions when this is not feasible due to the nature of the incident requiring
evacuation.)
10
March 2014
Receiving hospitals will use routine admitting procedures for patients from the evacuated
hospital including, if possible, consent for treatment.
Technical Rescue Operations
MCIs involving extended technical rescue operations (i.e. large transportation extrications,
confined spaces, collapsed man-made or natural structures, search and rescue
operations, etc.) should initially use the resources of the local jurisdiction.
When needs exceed local capabilities or resources, the locality having jurisdiction may
contact the Virginia Emergency Operations Center (VEOC) at 1-800-468-8892 to activate
the Division 1 – Regional Technical Rescue Team. Each one of the Virginia Department of
Fire Programs seven divisions has a designated technical rescue team. Local emergency
communications centers should keep contact phone numbers available for use during an
incident. Any of the regional technical rescue teams can be mobilized through statewide
mutual aid in coordination with the approved personnel in the jurisdiction having authority
by calling the VEOC.
The Virginia EOC is the Search and Rescue Coordination Center for Virginia and can
contact Search and Rescue and Regional Technical Teams for local jurisdictions.
All personnel involved in the technical rescue aspects of an MCI regional response must
have appropriate training and maintain compliance with local, state and federal OSHA
standards.
Hazardous Materials
Hazardous materials, as defined in Section § 44-146.34 of the Code of Virginia, 1950 as
amended means“….substances or materials which may pose unreasonable risks to health,
safety, property or the environment when used, transported, stored or disposed of, which
may include materials which are solid, liquid or gas. Hazardous materials may include toxic
substances, flammable and ignitable materials, explosives, corrosive materials, and
radioactive materials and include: those substances or materials in a form or quantity
which may pose an unreasonable risk to health, safety or property when transported and
which the U.S. Secretary of Transportation has so designated by regulation or order;
hazardous substances as defined or designated by law or regulation of the Commonwealth
or law or regulation of the U.S. government; and hazardous waste as defined or
designated by law or regulation of the Commonwealth.”
The local fire department shall be contacted for incidents involving hazardous materials.
The local fire department or local emergency communications center will contact Virginia
EOC at 1-800-468-8892 for technical assistance or to have a Virginia Department of
Emergency Management (VDEM) Regional Hazardous Materials Officer respond to the
incident site if needed. The VDEM Hazardous Materials Office may activate one or more
regional hazardous materials response teams if required.
11
March 2014
Actions of local emergency response organizations are based on local response plans and
the Commonwealth of Virginia's Emergency Operations Plan (COVEOP), including the Oil
and Hazardous Materials annex (COVEOP Volume 4), the Terrorism Consequence
Management annex (COVEOP Volume 8), as well as local government and hospital
emergency operations plans and terrorism management annexes.
Decontamination is the process of removing or neutralizing contaminates that have
accumulated on personnel and equipment that is critical to health and safety at the scene
of any hazardous materials incident, including a terrorism incident. Decontamination will be
accomplished at the incident site or within close proximity to the site to ensure patients,
first responders and their vehicles will not transport contaminants from the incident site. If
not possible, Medical Control must be notified immediately, so they can alert their
hospitals to prepare for lockdown of their EDs and to implement their
decontamination procedures. Hospitals are not prepared to decontaminate vehicles.
All hospitals have basic decontamination capabilities to treat patients exposed to
hazardous materials. Upon notification of a HAZMAT, MCI hospitals should be prepared to
implement their Decontamination Plan.
Decontamination of hazmat patients and/or hospital and EMS providers will be in
accordance with established national guidelines by the U.S. Department of Transportation,
the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), as well as local and regional emergency operations plans.
Health and Medical Emergency Response Team (HMERT)
When requested through the jurisdiction emergency operations center to the State
Emergency Operations Center (800) 468-8892, EMS personnel and/or teams, coordinated
through the Office of Emergency Medical Services, can be requested to augment the
available capability of local EMS systems.
Air Medical Operations
It is recognized that air medical evacuation may be an important part of MCI planning. All
jurisdictions should develop and implement a plan that includes Air Medical Evacuation
resources. This plan should include a response matrix and emergency contact information
for each resource.
If there is a need to restrict airspace for patient and responder safety consideration should
be given to contacting the Federal Aviation Administration to complete this task.
Fatalities and Mass Fatalities Incidents
The Code of Virginia § 32.1-277 to 32.1-288 details the Chief Medical Examiner’s
responsibility for medical investigation of sudden, unexpected and violent deaths in the
Commonwealth of Virginia.
12
March 2014
It is critical that the Medical Examiner's Office be notified as early as possible in any mass
casualty incident which involves, or which may involve, fatalities. The Office of the Chief
Medical Examiner can be reached at 804-786-3174.
All jurisdictions should include in their Emergency Operations Plan a section providing for
these incidents. Included in this plan should be:
The local Medical Examiner’s contact information.
Local resources (funeral homes, etc.).
Patient Relocation ODEMSA Region
Due to the magnitude of an incident(s) it may become necessary to relocate large numbers
of patients into or out of the ODEMSA region. Such movements shall be done in
accordance with the Central Virginia National Disaster Medical System (NDMS)
Operations Plan.
Communication
Cellular or Radio communication, as provided by the ODEMSA region's enhanced twochannel HEAR system, will remain the primary method of hospital-to-field communications
during a MCI. The enhanced, voice-only VHF system provides a dedicated channel for
hospital-to-field communications and can provide as a backup a dedicated channel for
hospital-to-hospital communications.
Other communications tools that can be used during an MCI include the Web EOC
information program, the statewide Rescue Mutual Aid Frequency (155.205) and the UHF
MED channels.
The Statewide Mutual Aid Frequency (155.205) should be monitored to provide updated
information and to receive information that will assist in staging ambulances, other EMS
vehicles, human and/or material resources in line with the Incident Command System.
The HEAR radio frequency (155.340) is the primary channel for communications between
the MCI Medical Control hospital and the EMS Transportation Unit Leader or Group
Supervisor at the incident.
The HEAR radio frequency (155.280) is the primary channel for communications between
the MCI Medical Control hospital and other hospitals involved in the incident.
The Web EOC initially will be used for hospital-to-hospital communications and information
gathering and distribution.
Unless there is an extreme emergency, prehospital ambulance crews should not use the
HEAR frequency or statewide Mutual Aid frequency for communicating when responding
to an incident, or when transporting a patient to a designated hospital from the MCI site.
13
March 2014
Cellular telephones: The cellular telephone system is likely to be very busy during an
MCI, the establishment of a “solid connection” between the position designated for patient
distribution in the ICS and Medical Control should be an early and high priority for the
Incident Commander. This connection should be maintained for the duration of the MCI if
at all possible.
Demobilization
Utilizing the NIMS model the Incident Commander will develop a demobilization plan.
Included within the demobilization plan is the notification of Medical Control that Incident is
terminated of the Incident and that operations may return to normal. Medical Control will
then make notifications to all receiving facilities through Web EOC.
Training and Exercise
Training is an important part of the MCI process. Agencies need to recognize the
importance of understanding the overall components of your MCI Plan. Jurisdictions
should conduct regular training and exercise in accordance with The Homeland Security
Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP). Training exercise events should include
scenarios involving diverse populations to inlude: children and adults with special needs.

Plan Maintenance
MCI Committee
The Central Virginia MCI Committee is a working Committee of the Old Dominion EMS
Alliance. It is made up of representatives of the hospital and prehospital components,
career and volunteer, that render emergency medical care in Planning Districts 13, 14, 15
and 19. Other members include representatives of health care facilities outside the region,
which have signed the Central Virginia MCI Plan's Memorandum of Understanding.
Other members of the Committee include, but are not limited to, representatives of related
local, state and federal agencies (including law enforcement and emergency
communications), disaster relief organizations, representatives of major industries,
transportation and utilities companies, along with local businesses and other individuals
whom members of the committee may call upon from time to time for advice and expertise.
Revisions and Amendments to the Plan
The Central Virginia MCI Committee is responsible for reviewing each year the MCI Plan in
line with the Central Virginia MCI Plan Memorandum of Understanding, for proposing
revisions and/or amendments to the Mutual Aid Response Guide as necessary to maintain
its effectiveness, for reviewing and evaluating any activation of the MCI Plan, and for
planning annual MCI exercises in the region.
14
March 2014
Revisions and/or amendments will be acted upon by the Committee no sooner than 45
days, and not longer than 60 days, after all signatories have been notified of the proposed
changes and have had an opportunity to respond through their representatives or in writing
to the Committee Chair.
Revisions and/or amendments to the Plan will require the approval of the pre-determined
quorum of the MCI Committee, as outlined in the MCI Committee By-Laws, in order to be
enacted.

the needs of incidents of any kind or size by:

Allowing personnel from a variety of agencies to meld rapidly into a common
management structure.

Providing logistical and administrative support to operational staff.

Avoiding duplication of efforts thereby reducing costs.

Ensuring the safety of all stakeholders.
ICS consists of procedures for controlling personnel, facilities, equipment, and
communications. It is a system designed to be used or applied from the time an incident
occurs until the requirement for management and operations no longer exists.
Mass Casualty Incident (MCI): Sometimes called a Multiple-Casualty Incident, an MCI is
an incident or event resulting from man-made or natural causes which results in illness
and/or injuries which exceed the capabilities of a hospital, locality, jurisdiction and/or
region.
M.C.I. Medical Control: The medical facility, designated by the hospital community, which
provides overall medical direction of the MCI or Evacuation according to predetermined
guidelines for the distribution of patients throughout the healthcare community.
National Incident Management System (NIMS): provides a systematic, proactive
approach to guide departments and agencies at all levels of government,
nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector to work seamlessly to prevent,
protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of incidents, regardless
16
