Abstract: Carefully planned emergency medical service is essential if disaster casualties are to receive full benefit of modern facilities and techniques. De tailed but flexible plans are required, since nonprofessional assistance cannot otherwise be utilized to full advantage, a fact abundantly clear in recent disas ters. Any plan should center on co-ordination with other community services. Basic elements of a plan should stress reception of casualties; sorting and initial diagnosis; emergency medical care; and evacuation of casualties. It is incum bent on the medical profession to initiate the training and guidance of emer gency medical cadres to make any emergency plans effective.—Ed.
