- Contexto
- It is recommended that two grid maps be provided: one map depicting confines of airport access roads, location of water supplies, rendezvous points, staging areas, railways, highways, difficult terrain, etc., and the other map of surrounding communities depicting appropriate medical facilities, access roads, rendezvous points, etc., within a distance of approximately 8 km from the centre of the airport.
- Since it may be necessary to transport many casualties to appropriate off-airport medical facilities, ambulances arriving at the scene should report to the rendezvous point or staging area and then to the designated transportation officer. This officer will be responsible for ascertaining the number of casualties who will need transportation, the number and type of ambulance units necessary, and the availability and capacity of each medical facility receiving casualties.
