Current federal plans to provide medical care to the sick and injured in a large-scale mass casualty disaster are outdated and inadequate, putting the American public at great risk. The country faces a variety of serious threats, including nuclear terrorism, bioterrorism, a large earthquake, or even a large industrial accident that could produce many more patients than could be handled by the current federal system for medical response to mass casualties. That system is called the National Disaster Medical System (NDMS).
