EMS Disaster Triage Tags

In 1997, the Bureau of Justice and FEMA, through the National Fire Academy developed and offered the " Emergency Response to Terroism" training programme. This programme is offered to the men and women of our nations emergency serviceagencies. The development of the Disaster Managment Systems " All Risk Triage Tag " was a result of that training. The DMS All Risk Triage Tag has evolved to stay abreast with the advances in First Responder Operational ( FRO ) training and funding

As the threat to our nation and civilian population grows, the need for simple, effective and inter-operable systems have become vital to response planning and capabilities. A system is defined as a unit of inter-related dependent parts or functions designed to achieve a common goal.

The DMS All Risk Triage utilizes START Triage, First Responder Operational Objectives, Mass Decontamination Procedures, Patient Care Criteria and Evidence Tagging into a simple yet effective tool.

Disaster Management Systems was established in 1996 in response to the alarming increase in multi casualty incidents worldwide. All of the response tools and products created and produced by DMS fully support the Incident Command System. This command structure is set forth within the National Incident Management System (NIMS) in response to Homeland Security Presidentail Directive 5.
