START is an acronym  for<unk> , and is defined as being a method that first responders use to effectively and efficiently evaluate all of the victims during a mass casualty incident (MCI).   The first-arriving medical personnel will use a<unk>  tool called a<unk>  tag to categorize the victims by the severity of their injury. Once they have a better handle of the MCI, the on-scene personnel will call in to request for the additional appropriate resources and assign the incoming emergency service personnel their tasks. The victims will be easily identifiable in terms of what the appropriate care is needed by the<unk>  tags they were administered. This method was developed in 1983 by the staff members of Hoag Hospital  and Newport Beach Fire Department located in California.
