This train-the-trainer toolkit provides refresher and just-in-time training in triage methods for public health and healthcare providers responding to mass casualty incidents involving hazardous agents.
It is based on the National Disaster Life Support Foundation (NDLSF) Decon training: a two-day training course offered by the NDLSF National Training Center at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, TX. The CD also provides a training overview for educators on two other triage methods, SACCO and START.
