The Hampton Roads MCI Pocket Guide
An abbreviated version of the Hampton Roads Mass Casualty Incident Response Guide is published as the Hampton Roads Mass Casualty Incident Response Pocket Guide. The cover of the 2007 version of the MCI Pocket guide is now "florescent green" in color. This version replaces the September 2001 version of the pocket guide with the orange cover.
Distribution: One hard copy of the MCI Pocket Guide has been printed for every certified EMS provider in the Tidewater & Peninsulas EMS Council regions, plus one copy for each emergency vehicle. Each licensed EMS agency will receive one hard copy of the MCI pocket guide for every certified provider whose primary affiliation is with that agency.
Once your agency receives their copies your agency is responsible for distributing one copy of the pocket guide to each of their primary affiliated EMS providers, and placing one copy is each of your licensed emergency vehicles.
Additional copies of the pocket guide may be requested by e-mailing the Disaster Coordinator.

In order to print this document properly you will need to set your printer to print on duplex (both sides of the paper.) and make additional adjustments to your printer settings.)
In addition to the Regional Disaster Plan, there has been a plan developed for the Hampton Roads Planning District to respond in the event of a Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) attack.
