The International Mass Fatalities Center (IMFC) provides resources to better equip agencies to independently manage a mass fatalities response from onset through recovery, by offering a multifaceted, comprehensive, and sustainable support program of Assessment, Planning, Training, and Exercises for a mass fatalities incident.
The mission of the International Mass Fatalities Center (IMFC) is "To help communities, businesses, industries, government, and disaster response agencies prepare for, respond to, and recover from a mass fatalities incident." The emphasis in this statement focuses on three words – prepare, respond, recover – a complete cycle of events that distinguishes IMFC from any other organization dealing with loss of human life.
IMFC's all-hazards approach will help your agency respond to a mass fatalities incident resulting from the following:
- Natural Disasters
- Transportation Accidents
- Acts of Terrorism
- Pandemics
- Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosives (CBRNE)
"Where Preparedness Meets Reality"
