This course is designed to introduce students to the inter-agency cooperation, involvement and problems encountered by first responders to mass disaster scenes. The field component will involve various aspects of the recovery, mapping and processing of a mid-air crash scenario of two medium-size commuter jets. This component involves the pedestrian search, the identification of aircraft components, personal effects and human remains. Students will work in teams to properly identify, recover, map, photograph and process this overwhelming scene and learn to overcome the problems typically encountered. The course incorporates the perspectives of the Tri-Services: EMS, Police and Fire Services.
