Development of a Municipal
Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS)
The
Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS) is an enhanced
local health and medical response system that addresses the
special requirements in response to terrorist incidents and
other public health emergencies.
MMRS
Characteristics:
- Integrated
medical response system
- Detailed system
response & operations plans
- Specially trained
responders at all levels
- Specialized response
equipment
- Specialized medical
equipment and pharmaceutical cache
- Enhanced medical
transport and treatment capabilities
We believe that a Municipal Metropolitan
Medical Response System (MMRS) should be developed as part
of a Comprehensive Emergency Management Program (CEMP.) We
are experienced at guiding local jurisdictions through this
process and crafting the required MMRS deliverables.
Working closely with the local
emergency manager, All Hands will provide staff and expertise
to develop the following MMRS deliverables:
- A Steering
Committee is created Inviting all appropriate MMRS stake
-holders Close communication is required beginning with
a Project Officer meeting.
- A MMRS
Development Plan.
- A basic
MMRS plan.
- A standard
operating procedure (SOP), as a component of the MMRS Plan,
for the forward movement of patients to other areas of the
region.
- A SOP,
as a component of the MMRS Plan, for responding to and managing
the health consequences of a WMD incident.
- A SOP,
as a component of the MMRS Plan, for MMST capability.
- A SOP,
as a component of the MMRS Plan, for managing the health
consequences of a biological WMD.
- A SOP,
as a component of the MMRS Plan, for the local hospital
and health care system.
- A training
plan for the MMRS.
- A MMRS
Pharmaceutical and Equipment Plan.
In addition, in support of the
MMRS program, All Hands will:
- Perform a review of current
emergency management plans for managing a WMD event and
identify areas for improvement.
- Perform a retrospective review
of the current response capabilities for public service
agencies, public health, and the medical community and identify
areas for improvements.
- Assist with forming and sustaining
the local MMRS Working (Steering) Group and the MMRS Advisory
Council.
