Casualty Collection Points/Triage Centers
Taxonomy Code: TH-2300.6350-150
Temporary facilities that are established at predetermined locations in areas devastated by a major disaster or large-scale emergency to collect, register, triage, treat (life-saving interventions only), hold (for a minimum amount of time) and evacuate, if necessary, individuals who have been injured during the incident. In disaster situations in which regional and area hospitals are overwhelmed or unusable, the CCP can function as a receiving center for casualties from the injury site and for hospital patients needing continuing care. The CCP, in this instance, is an evacuation conduit. In a disaster with a large number of casualties, many of which do not need hospital care, the CCP may triage patients and control access to functioning hospitals and emergency rooms. In disaster situations in which normal hospital operations are functioning and not overwhelmed, CCPs may function as minor treatment facilities for people who need first aid and/or patient holding facilities for the selective evacuation of hospital patients. CCP sites may be co-located at certain existing hospitals.
