RAMONA COMMUNITY PROTECTION & EVACUATION PLAN
SECTION I – MASS CASUALTY PLAN
The Ramona Fire Department follows the County of San Diego Annex D to manage all
mass casualty incidents.
Activation of Annex D
1. A confirmed event has occurred that is a multi-casualty incident which
exceeds the capabilities of the immediately available responding emergency
contingent, or the patient care capabilities of proximate facilities.
2. An event is imminent, or has occurred, of such magnitude in a populated area
that extensive casualties are inevitable, i.e., structure collapse, major
transportation emergency, hazardous materials release.
Fire Department responsibilities

4. Provide extrication.
5. Provide rescue.
6. Provide initial triage.
