MARO RTC: Hospital Emergency Response Training - Indirect

This course is designed to provide guidance to hospital staff and others who may be required to support the hospital response to an MCI involving contamination as a result of a natural, accidental, or intentional incident. The course enables the healthcare provider to be able to apply the relationships between the federal response requirements, ICS, and how a HERT operates within the incident command methods established by these requirements. The course concentrates on criteria for the location of the HERT, and the units and strike teams assigned as part of a HERT, to detail the operational methods and requirements of those organizations. This course helps prepare facilities and agencies to safely and effectively assist and process MCI victims into a healthcare facility while protecting the facility from contamination. This is a purely didactic course containing no practical exercises.
