Hospital Emergency Response Training (HERT) for Mass Casualty Incidents

Weber Emergency Services delivers the Hospital Emergency Response Training (HERT) for Mass Casualty Incidents course using instructors authorized by FEMA to teach this curriculum.

This eight (8) hour course is designed to provide medical operation guidance to:

• Hospitals
• Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
• Healthcare facility personnel
• Others who may become involved in an MCI as a result of a natural, accidental, or intentional event

The course assists the healthcare responder in understanding the relationship between a Hospital Incident Command System (HICS), a scene Incident Command System (ICS), and other IMS used by municipal Emergency Operations Centers (EOC) during all manners of emergencies; addresses PPE requirements; and presents guidance for HERT design, development, and training.

This course helps prepare facilities and agencies to conduct a safe and effective emergency medical response to MCI.

This is a hands-on course, and participants must be physically and psychologically fit to wear PPE during the training.

The course culminates with the application of this training in small- and large-group, facilitated practical exercises.
