DPRO believes that first responders and first receivers should be afforded tools that are functional and adaptable to a variety of institutions tasked with responding to disaster medicine. These tools are best developed by those who actually do the work of patient care and are intimately familiar with the nuances associated with providing such care.
The following tools have been field tested and found to be adaptable and applicable and are provided to you for your review and use. Feedback on the tools is always welcomed and appreciated. Your input will help to develop a more robust tool over time and further testing.
1. Casualty Care Coordinator (CCC)

2. Patient Tracking Tool
This tool has been developed to enhance a hospital’s ability to respond to disasters involving multiple casualties.
