QuestionAnswer
IMS Incident management system
The Ontario Incident Management System (IMS) is designed to be a response system, but it can be used to manage all stages of an incident
IMS is created to give communities and organizations a common framework to communicate, coordinate and collaborate during a incident response
IMS An approach to emergency management that would permits ministries, communities, organizations, institutions, and industry to operate more cohesively. • IMS has broad applicability and makes emergency response more efficient
IMS provides guidance on all aspects of coordinating an incident response, including: • Support to the site • Coordination of incident response efforts • Command of incident response efforts • Communication
IMS helps incident response organizations respond effectively and efficiently by Providing common structures, systems and roles • Helping incident response organizations communicate clearly through the use of common terms and concepts • Creating a flexible framework that can adapt to any level or type of incident
IMS can be used at the site of an incident, for a planned event, in an Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) or a designated location where incident coordination and support take place
core principles communication, collaboration, coordination, flexibility
objectives preservation of life, stabilize the incident, protect the environment, preserve public confidence
positive identification on Skeletal Remains ▪ DNA ▪ Dental records ▪ X-ray record comparison of previous injury/surgery ▪ Tracking implants
positive identification on soft tissue ▪ Fingerprints ▪ Marks, scars, tattoos ▪ Medical/cosmetic implants
Other Methods of identification ▪Facial reconstruction ▪Clothing ▪Jewelry, personal affects
What MAY be learned from properly recovered human remains? ■ Biological Profile ■ Trauma ■ Time Since Death ( Post Mortem Interval) ■ Medical Conditions ■ Positive Identification ■ Cause and/or Manner of Death
search patterns spiral, grid, zone, strip/line
for each point 1. Measure in (east) from datum point first 2. Measure up (north) from baseline second
Scattered Remains What to Look For Skeletal & soft tissue on or just below the surface, Clothing, personal objects, weapons, Odour of decomposition and surface staining, Insect activity, Piled trash, loose brush, tree limbs and debris (green branches) Evidence of animal activity

H.U.S.A.R. Dogs (Heavy Urban Search and Rescue)
Human Decomposition Approx. 4 minutes after death ◼ “autolysis” (self digestion) ◼ Cells deprived of O2, CO2 increases, pH decreases, waste accumulates, cells poisoned ◼ Cells dissolve from inside out, rupturing ◼ Visually apparent after several days ◼ Skin slippage
Human Decomposition ◼ Body acclimatized (algor mortis) ◼ Blood settled, skin discolouration (livor mortis) ◼ Increased acidity (rigor mortis)
Human Decomposition Tissues into gases and liquids (Putrefaction) ◼ Gases and fluids purge ◼ Increase in bacteria presence ◼ Insect activity highly increased ◼ Carnivore activity
Human Decomposition ◼ Adipocere (warm, moist environment) ◼ Mummification (dry heat, low humidity, also extreme cold)
Search Challenges and Considerations ◼ Weather ◼ Age ◼ Terrain ◼ Training Experience / Limitations ◼ Legality ◼ Hazards / Safety ◼ Predation ◼ Heaving (bone) intelligence
Environmental Challenges ◼ Layers ◼ Topsoil (12-18”) vs. Subsoil ◼ Types (size of mineral particles) ◼ Texture / Porosity (sand, silt, clay) ◼ Consistency ◼ Microbial Concentration
How does a dog become a Police Service Dog? ◼ Purchased from broker or breeder ◼ Tested for drive, temperament, health ◼ Basic training course (approx. 4 months) ◼ Certification / Testing ◼ Training, Training, Training!
An estimated.... and up to 70% of adults have encountered a traumatic event at one point in their lives......20% of these people develop post-traumatic stress disorder
Emergency services personnel are three times more likely to develop post- traumatic stress disorder than people in the community. In addition, other risk factors include depression and alcohol/substance abuse
A critical incident is a severe event that can overwhelm a person’s ability to cope and disrupts normal functions
what is wellness is the integration of body, mind, and spirit to produce a balanced lifestyle. It promotes a sense of becoming, changing, improving, and growing. Wellness is achieved by practicing good health habits and eliminating harmful ones
For emergency service providers, the top 10 causative factors for critical incident stress include • line of duty deaths, • suicide of a colleague • serious work-related injuries, • multi-casualty incidents, • events that indicate a threat to workers, • death of a child patient,
For emergency service providers, the top 10 causative factors for critical incident stress include • events that involve a victim that is known personally to the workers, • events with excessive media coverage, • prolonged events with a negative outcome • any overwhelming distressing event
