Course Description<\/h3>\n
\n\t

In today's increasingly complex emergency landscape, large-scale incidents often demand a coordinated response across multiple disciplines. Critical Mass explores the vital convergency of Mass Casualty, Mass Care, and Mass Fatality operations during high-impact events. In this one-day session, participants will hear from partners about capabilities and realities of complex response and engage in scenario-based discussions, and analyze the operational, logistical, and ethical challenges that arise when these three domains intersect. Emphasis is placed on interagency coordination, resource management, crisis communication, and integration during catastrophic incidents.<\/p>\n

By the end of the course, learners will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to enhance operational readiness, improve cross-sector collaboration, and support resilient community outcomes in the face of catastrophic impact events.<\/p>\n
