Abstract

This article presents the ABA Plan, developed by the Committee on Organization and Delivery of Burn Care and the Board of Trustees, for the management of mass burn casualties resulting from mass disasters and terrorist acts. Information is presented demonstrating the following: the extent of burn injuries in mass disasters and terrorist acts; the importance of appropriate triage and surge capacity policy; why treatment of burn patients in burn centers is preferable; the critical role that burn centers play in the local, regional, and federal response to mass burn casualty situations; and the important role of the ABA in interacting with federal agencies and other entities in mass burn casualty disaster preparedness.
