2 MASS CASUALTY INCIDENT This document outlines the Grey Nuns Hospital and Misericordia Hospital contingency plans in preparation to receive multiple casualties from an event or multiple events occurring simultaneously, which may take place within Alberta Health Services Edmonton Zone or in another Alberta Health Services zone in the province. Awareness of a multi-casualty incident may occur as a result of notification from: Alberta Health Services Emergency Disaster Management Office Edmonton Zone EMS (comes through the Critical Care Line) or other sources. Victims can arrive at the emergency department with no notice. If the number or type of casualties has the potential to overwhelm the hospital, a Code Orange may be declared. In circumstances where patients start arriving without advance notification, the Emergency Department should immediately notify the Site Administration or if after hours; the Manager on call. The Manager on call will call the Covenant Health Senior Executive on call and Covenant Health Emergency Disaster Management on-call ( and ask operator for E/DM on-call) and, if necessary, the Alberta Health Services Zone Executive on call via RAAPID Code Orange may be activated in one of three levels: Standby Partial or Full The decision to activate a Code Orange response and the appropriate level will be the responsibility of the Senior Executive or designate. What do I do when I hear CODE ORANGE paged on the overhead PA system? a) If you are not in your assigned work area, return immediately to your work area. b) The unit/department manager/delegate shall report to Administration for briefing. c) As appropriate, the unit/department manager/delegate will implement the unit/department Code Orange process. d) Depending on the situation, staff may be required to stay at work until extra relief workers are available or until the Code Orange has been discontinued. All areas shall develop a unit-specific plan for Code Orange response congruent with this plan. 2

3 Activating Code Orange CODE ORANGE STAND BY Definition: An incident has not yet occurred, but has the potential to cause a large number of casualties which will overwhelm ambulances and the Emergency Departments throughout the Alberta Health Services Edmonton Zone. OR An incident has occurred in Edmonton zone, or from outside the zone, and the number and status of casualties are not confirmed. 1. Action Instruct Switchboard to page overhead Code Orange Stand By three (3) times. All Staff are requested not to leave work until further notice. CODE ORANGE PARTIAL ACTIVATION Definition An incident has occurred, which will impact the Hospital. The number of casualties is limited and/or the time frame for activation is limited. 1. Action Notify the Site Administrator/designate and Bed Manager unless the information about the casualties has come from either source. Instruct Switchboard to page Code Orange Partial Activation three (3) times. Site Administrator or designate will notify Covenant Health Emergency Disaster Management on-call at and RAAPID All Staff are requested not to leave work until further notice. Incident Command will be established using the response guide on page 5. 3

4 CODE ORANGE FULL ACTIVATION Definition An incident has occurred which has already produced a large number of casualties. OR Code Orange Partial Activation has already been activated, and other specific functions must now be activated to support the site response. 1. Action Instruct Switchboard to page Code Orange Full Activation three (3) times and repeat after ten (10) minutes or as required. Incident Command will be established in the Emergency Department using the response guide on page 6. All Staff are requested not to leave work until further notice. The Site Administrator or Designate will determine the need for an on site Incident Command Post. All of the Incident Command System functions will be established in the Site Incident Command post (ICP) if activated with the exception of casualty care and decontamination units. The Site Administrator or Designate will contact Covenant Health Emergency Disaster Management on-call: and ask operator for E/DM on-call. All Staff are requested not to leave work until further notice. A Mass Casualty situation may primarily affect one site, or many sites may receive casualties. Each site within the Edmonton zone may declare different levels of Code Orange response, depending on their proximity to the incident, and their current level of site activity. Alberta Health Services Edmonton zone may activate the Edmonton Zone Emergency Operations Centre depending on the magnitude of the incident and the anticipated impact on one or all sites. When communication is received that the number of casualties is subsiding, on site Administration will determine if the Hospital can plan for a return to normal operations and activities or ALL CLEAR. CODE ORANGE ALL CLEAR Definition: The initial impact to the Hospital has been received, and departments should plan accordingly. Departments and emergency functions stand down at different times 1. Actions Department managers determine their area s current and anticipated work load. Staffing and supplies are evaluated for next 24 to 48 hours. Staff is sent home at discretion of department supervisors. Assess the need for Critical Incident Stress Management. 4
