Abstract: Abstract Mass casualty incidents (MCIs) tax the available resources of the healthcare system and impact on the capacity to provide optimal treatment to all casualties. To assure an integrated care approach before, during and following MCIs, Israel maintains ongoing coordination and collaboration among the various stakeholders. Emergency preparedness consists of five main measures including national guidelines and standard operating procedures; training programs; ongoing monitoring systems; information systems; and, procurement of vital equipment and infrastructure. The response phase is based on five components including an automatic response; central control and coordination; connectivity between responders; collaboration between military and civilian entities; and coordinated risk communication. The post-response phase consists of learning lessons through After Action Reviews.
