The SCRTAC meets at 4 PM on the 4th Tuesday of every EVEN month.

JumpSTART is the triage system used to rapidly triage pediatric patients during a mass casualty incident.

JumpSTART provides an objective framework that helps to assure that injured children are triaged by responders using their heads instead of their hearts, thus reducing overtriage that might siphon resources from other patients who need them more and result in physical and emotional trauma to children from unnecessary painful procedures and separation from loved ones. Undertriage is addressed by recognizing the key differences between adult and pediatric physiology and using appropriate pediatric physiologic parameters at decision points.
