| General Response Guidelines | |
| For all life/property threatening emergencies dial *46. When calling emergency personnel, stay on the line until all requested information is provided. Hang up only after you have been told. As quickly as possible, people at the scene of an emergency must determine the basic incident facts (who, what, when, where, and how) and get this information to Plans, Training Mobilization and Security (PTMS). PTMS assesses the situation and if warranted will contact the hospital Command Group. Together they will assess the seriousness of the event and decide whether to activate the Medical Operations Center (MOC).
MISSION: Evans Army Community Hospital will provide immediate
medical care for emergency medical services to accident/disaster
victims upon arrival at EACH to contain and minimize the extent of
injuries and suffering.
CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS: Evans Army Community Hospital will
respond to any emergency occurring on Fort Carson or Pinon Canyon
Training site, and on order, the local community. Upon notification
of incoming injured, Department of Emergency Medicine is the lead
agent for EOP execution. All in-house assets will be made available
for dedicated emergency medical services.
*Success will depend on speed and momentum. Leaders will act
independently and in cooperation with other elements of the
hospital, sharing information, materiel, and
personnel.
*Leaders and subordinates will have the greatest possible freedom of
action consistent with accomplishing the mission.
*Individual initiative, teamwork, and leadership from expected and
unexpected sources will occur. Initial chaos will be overcome, unity
of effort will prevail and the emergency will be contained and
controlled.
