Procedure <br /> <br />Medical Examiner <br /> <br />Multivle Deaths - Medical Examiner <br /> <br />CAPABILITY <br /> <br />The Ramsey county Medical Examiner's Office can handle up to ten bodies without aid. With more <br />deaths, they would use refrigerated trucks for temporary storage and call in more pathologists to help. <br /> <br />Temporary morgues would not be used. <br /> <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 /> <br />OPERATIONS <br /> <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 /> <br />For personal effects, have at least two people from different agencies work as a team to document <br />findings. <br /> <br />Volunteer help should not be used for any of this. <br /> <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 />
