Publisher's Synopsis
Every action taken by public safety person- nel at a death scene can have a profound impact on victim identification and any subsequent criminal investigation. Coord- inating the work of the many agencies that must respond to mass fatality incidents presents a particularly complex set of demands. Even large States and municipali- ties can find themselves overburdened with many operational requirements in responding to a major transportation acci- dent or terrorist incident. Whether for the purpose of preserving evidence for a crimi- nal investigation or effectively managing the identification of victims, a well-designed plan could be an invaluable response tool.
