This interactive workshop for practitioners explores approaches based on real-life examples and theoretical frameworks to prepare to and responding to complex large-scale mass casualty incidents in an urban context.
But is it really possible to prepare for the worst-case scenario of a mass casualty incident in a city?
In this interactive workshop, our panelists will try to find an answer to this questions by examining – both – theoretical frameworks and real life examples from preparing and responding to large scale and complex disasters and crisis in cities in recent years.
While the Dr. Razzak from Weill Cornell Medicine College is presenting the CAMERA tool (city’s assessment for mass casualty emergency response developed with support of the ICRC), Dr. Amine Eddine from Lebanese Red Cross and Philippe Testa from French Red Cross will share their experiences and lessons from crisis preparedness and management of incidents in Beirut and Paris.
