Part of the Church structure collapsed into the basement, killing some of the occupants and injuring others. You are the first responder to the scene which is discovered 3 days after the hurricane. As a nurse and a relief worker, describe how you will use the START TRIAGE principles to begin to triage and recover the victims. Apply triage principles to describe assessments you would perform and how you would determine the correct color tag to identify your victims for priority of care. Outline what supplies you would expect to find in the refuge area for this group considering that they had several days to plan for this potential disaster.
