Features & Benefits
MCI/Disaster Module System
The product line was designed as a modular system. Each emergency function that an agency is responsible for has it's own trailer. The System was designed to provide immediate response to Earthquakes, Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Major Fires, Wild Land Fires, Plane and Bus Accidents, Multi-Vehicle Accidents and Terrorist Acts.
The System consists of:
*MCI Triage Cache * Haz-Mat Decon * Combination Triage/Decon * Emergency Lighting
*C.E.R.T. Equipment Cache * C.E.R.T. Command Post / CCP Station * Field Morgue
The feature and benifits are as follows:
THE SYSTEM
FEATURE BENEFIT
*The trailers are water, dust and rodent proof *This protects the supplies and equipment
from being damaged while being stored.
*It also protects the sterility of the
products
*Everything is ready for use when needed
*Only the irrigation water needs to be rotated every five years
*Side opening doors *One of the main features of The System
is "Organization". When the doors
are open - everything is in plain view
and easy to find.
*We have installed swing up doors on
each side of the trailer so that you can got what you need, when you need it.
*If you were to put our contents into a standard trailer, it would require a trailer three times the size
*Wedge tongue compartment *The wedge compartment increase
the storage capacity of the trailer
*The wedge also is aerodynamically
designed to reduce wind drag
*Provides an additional lockable
compartment for ALS supplies
*The trailers are compact in size *The trailers can be towed by any vehicle that you can put a trailer hitch on.
*A large truck is not needed
*The compact size requires less parking space
*If used on site, two people can push
them to where they are needed.
*People not use to towing a trailer are
more comfortable towing our trailers
*They are easier to move in confined spaces
*They do not require electric brakes or hook-ups
*When a standard, rear opening trailer is used - and for you to be able to get what you need, you have to build shelves into the trailer. When you do this, you lose 66% of your storage space.
*Our compact trailers utilize 100% of
the storage space.
*The Triage Cache serves a dual application *Our trailers can be used for both disaster
and mass casualty insidents
*The main compartment contains BLS supplies
*The front "Wedge" compartment was designed to contain either generators and lights or ALS supplies
*The modular system *The system provides for a safe storage of the equipment and supplies
*The modules are stored away from trees, buildings and power lines so that they do not become part of the disaster.
*Each emergency function has it's own Module (trailer)
*If every thing is put in one trailer, a very large trailer is required.
*If you have a large trailer, you also need a large truck.
*By each function having it's own Module, you only need to respond to an incident with what you need.
*By each function having it's own trailer you eliminate several functions trying to get their equipment out of the trailer at the same time.
*The modular system allows you to preposition the units through out the community so that when the disaster strikes the equipment is already on site.
*The modular system also allows other communities that you might mutual aid with to standardize on the same system
*When our modular system is used it eliminates having to find a truck to load the back up supplies and equipment on
*There is no lost time in getting to the incident site because you had to load the back up supplies
*The Cache is ready to respond at a moments notice.
*Trailer Construction *We construct the trailers three
ways. (1)Galvaneal Steel, (2)Steel Frame and Aluminium Skin (3)All Aluminum
*Galvaneal Steel Construction *We use galvaneal steel to provide a trailer that will last for years
*Galvaneal steel is 99.44% rust free. We also use automotive primer and paint for long lasting protection
*Steel Frame & Aluminum Skin *By using the steel frame and aluminum skin, we greatly reduce the weight of the trailer
*All Aluminum *The ALL Aluminum trailer is the lightest of all. It also eliminates any possibilities of rusting. This is the best trailer to add lift line hooks to.
*Optional Lift Line Hooks *When this option is used, the trailer can be airlifted to remote areas by helicopter.
When supplies and equipment are stored in a warehouse, this presents some other problems when responding to an incident. When the supplies arrive at the incident site they are off loaded onto the ground. If it is wet out this present another problem. The biggest problem is that the supplies are in boxes and the medic has to assess the patient then go to the supply box to get what he needs. Normally the medic will make several trips to the supply boxes for each patient he treats. Standard trauma kits do not work well because they are so compartmentized. If the medic is not familiar with the trauma kit then they have to hunt for everything. We designed a special "Disaster Trauma Kit" to solve these problems
The other tendency is to put a little of everything into the supplies. The efficiency of the medic is reduced with every decision he has to make. So instead of putting 2x2's 3x3's and 4x4's and 2", 3" and 4" roller bandages in to the supplies we put a lot of 4x4's, 5x9's and 4" roller bandages. This way the medic does not have to make decisions. The trailers come stocked with Disaster Trauma Kits, Roll-A-Stretchers, Trauma Patient Packs, Boxes of back up supplies, Backboards and an Triage Management Kit.
