MOVE Tech Talk – JAN 2025 – Overview of a Mass Fatalities Response
January 28 @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm
Peter Teahen will be our presenter. The scope of a mass fatalities response extends well beyond the return of remains to surviving family members. Addressing the complex needs of such an incident includes several critical tasks: protecting potential crime scenes; managing resources and personnel effectively; conducting comprehensive searches and recovering remains; understanding relevant legal and regulatory issues; identifying and returning remains accurately; and ensuring that the families of the deceased are treated with compassion, dignity, and respect for their cultural and religious beliefs. It is essential that responders are equipped with the necessary tools to fulfill their duties and are prepared to manage the substantial physical and emotional stress they will encounter during the response.
