Just for Schools Emergency Triage Drill Kit
Add this material to your K12 district school's Emergency Management equipment.
This print-yourself Emergency Drill Triage Kit was created in collaboration with the Pediatric Disaster Resource and Training Center at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. It is intended to support school personnel as they practice identifying, reporting, transporting and treating injured victims. This kit is designed to help school personnel review their Basic First Aid training and practice those skills. This kit does not require advanced training or equipment. The skills that this kit will review are the same skills taught in Basic First Aid and CPR classes.

What is in the kit? In addition to this instruction guide, this kit contains the following elements:
40 Mock Victim Tags. These numbered tags have all the information about the signs, symptoms and context for the mock injuries. They are in re-usable plastic pouches with a clip. They are designed to be clipped to the student or staff member as they act out their role of victim.
Victim Checklist Form. This form is designed to keep track of who has been issued a victim tag and where they can be found when the drill starts. This same form is then used to make sure that all of the victims are found and treated. This is a “master” form, or template, and is designed to be photocopied for each drill.
Victim Checklist Key. This key has the victim tag information along with the expected triage and first aid treatment. For reference purposes, the key also contains the medical diagnosis that would be expected if the victim were to be treated at a hospital. This is also a “master” form or template and is designed to be photocopied for each drill as well.
