Abstract
The rescue, treatment, and evacuation of thousands of patients from a natural disaster or armed conflict that is coordinated by the National Disaster Medical System must be performed in accordance to health car e standards recognized in this country. Without an effective communica tion system, morbidity and mortality will needlessly rise. A medical c ommunication protocol that addresses this problem is proposed.
