The "5 S's" of Mass Casualty Incidents (MCI) refer to a framework used for effective management of such events. They typically include: Scene safety, ensuring the area is secure for both responders and victims; Size-up, assessing the scope and scale of the incident; Send information, communicating critical details to dispatch and additional responders; Set up, organizing resources and establishing command; and Start, beginning the triage and treatment of victims. These steps help streamline response efforts and optimize resource allocation during MCIs.
