Popis: Every disaster may occur as different forms, but the system of disaster medical response or assistance is relatively consistent. It is a cooperative response where a rapid response team of community health care center and disaster medical assistance team (DMAT) have to care disaster-related patients under the control of the fire service headquarter. This system also includes different institutions such as emergency medical facilities, police, army, and so forth. Thus, there is a need of integrated and regionalized task manual that all these institutions should use in common. For the practical application of this manual, it is essential to offer the education program of disaster medical assistance which practitioners should participate in. For the purpose of improving the practicability of the task manual, it has to be updated annually as the community-based disaster-related medical response environment changes every year. The education program of disaster medical assistance should utilize this manual and involve relevant institutions. The education program should be strengthened in simulation-based training and with more education opportunities, and their results should be reflected in the task manual.
