Emergency Operations Plan <br /> Standin!!: ODeratine: Proccdure Medical Examincr <br /> Multiole Deaths - Medical Examiner <br /> CAP ABILITY <br /> The Ramsey county Medical Examiner's Office can bandle up to ten bodies without aid. With more <br /> deaths, they would llse refrigerated trucks for temporary storage and call in more pathologists to help. <br /> Temporary morgues would not be used. <br /> Minnesota's State bureau of Criminal Apprehension has a forensic team that can respond and help in a <br /> mass casualty event. They have 200 - 300 body bags, J.D. tags, etc. They also have capability of <br /> staking body location and contributing to the overall investigation. <br /> OPERATIONS <br /> A scene investigation must be done carefully. Bodies must be investigated for certain identification, <br /> documentation of injuries, etc., but forensic specialist should do this. FBI fingerprint specialists will <br /> respond within a few hours. They have a very helpful capability. <br />. For personal effects, have at least two people from different agencies work as a team to document <br /> findings. <br /> Volunteer help should not be used for any of this. <br /> If a temporary morgue is used, it should not be a church or school. Stigmas become attached to the <br /> building. Also don't use a wooden floor. <br />. <br /> 39 <br />
