When a hazardous material spill or mass-casualty event occurs, coordination across fire, EMS, and hospital teams determines the outcome. CareFirst's Code Orange protocol activates disaster response instantly: isolating hazards, mobilizing every available unit, and giving receiving hospitals live visibility before patients arrive.
Fleets, hospitals, and agencies on one dispatch view
Fire, EMS, and hospital teams activated together
Automated containment and exposure-zone alerts
Every decision and handoff logged for compliance
Five phases from activation to hospital handover: every unit coordinated.
A hazmat spill or mass-casualty event triggers immediate Code Orange activation across the network.
Affected zones are isolated and hazardous materials contained per protocol.
Ambulances, hospitals, and response agencies are mobilized and assigned in real time.
Incoming patients are triaged on scene and routed to the nearest hospitals with capacity.
Every receiving hospital gets live patient counts and severity data before arrival.
