During every emergency and disaster, every child and adult on the premises must be accounted for, including volunteers and visitors.
If anyone is discovered to be missing, the Emergency Charge will assign people to assist in search and rescue.
Assess the safety of the environment.
The group will go to every room and office searching for missing persons. Be sure to check in places where frightened children may be hiding.
When a person is found, the situation is assessed.
First Aid may be started at the location, if safe to do so.
The Emergency Charge will either:
Assign one person to stay with the injured.
Transport them to the first aid station.
Leave the deceased person (Do not move the dead. Cover and leave them. Write a note indicating name and location.)
See H-44 for information on triaging the injured.
The decision will be based on the amount of danger in the area, the severity of the injury and the number of available helpers. Any decision may be temporary or reversed, but the Emergency Charge decides.
