Control Facility (CF): An agency authorized to direct patient dispersal during MCI or URVI.  \n2. EMS Surge Incident: An incident that does not overwhelm prehospital resources but has potential to overwhelm hospital resources.  \n3. Multi-Casualty Incident: Exists when current personnel and equipment are not adequate to care for all the victims involved.  \n4. Unified Response to Violent Incident (URVI): Unified response between Fire/EMS and law enforcement agencies to provide for the expedited removal of victims from an incident where a suspect may potentially still be active and not yet apprehended.  \nLevel 1 MCI: Approximately 5-14 patients  \nLevel 2 MCI: Approximately 15-49 patients Level 3 MCI: 50+ patients, expected duration greater than 1 hour  \nNotify CF and dispatch when the incident is complete, and all patients have been transported / departed scene.  \n| | 1304A | Multiple Casualty Incident Policy |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n\nPURPOSE  \n1. To establish a minimum standard for management of a Multi-Casualty Incident (MCI) through an appropriate operational structure, using the Incident Command System (ICS) .  \n2. To define roles and duties of responding personnel.  \n3. To establish a standard approach to triage.  \n4. To facilitate effectiveness of multi-agency response.  \n5. To provide guidelines for MCI documentation.  \nPOLICY  \nTo provide guidance for the treatment and transport of victims of an incident meeting classification of a Mass-Casualty Incident (MCI) .  \nDEFINITIONS  \n5. Multi-Casualty Incident: Exists when current personnel and equipment are not adequate to care for all the victims involved. A normal level of stabilization and care cannot be achieved until additional resources are available. These incidents include, but are not limited to, mass trauma or mass medical (i.e. Overdose, Infectious Disease Outbreak, ETC. ) and/or hazardous materials exposure.  \n6. EMS Surge Incident: An incident that does not overwhelm prehospital resources but has potential to overwhelm hospital resources.  \n7.
