What does all-hazards response mean?
This term describes a complete range of disasters, for which trained responders could be essential. The MRC might be called to provide care to those who are impacted by anything from natural disasters (hurricanes, floods, fires), to a chemical spill on a highway, to a terrorist attack. No one can predict when a disaster will strike, nor the kind of skills that would be required to handle every situation. But the more we learn and prepare, the more effective our response can be, and the more lives can be saved.
