BDLS
The situation on the world stage today has brought into sharp focus the heightened concerns for
security and public safety. Disasters of all Types –natural and man-made, intentional and
unintentional - mandate efficient and cohesive interoperability within the healthcare community.
First responders, EMS providers, law enforcement officers, physicians, nurses, allied health
providers, public health officials, hospital staff and community leaders require a common framework
to prepare for, recognize, and respond to disasters.
BDLS is an 8-hour, in-depth training course designed to meet these urgent needs. It provides
common organizational plans, terminology, methods of scene evaluation and victim classification for
disaster recognition and response. The course introduces the “D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R Paradigm” “MASS
Triage” and management of “All-Hazards” events due to chemical, biological, nuclear, radiological,
explosive and natural disasters. The course also discusses the healthcare provider’s role in the public
health and incident management systems, as well as community mental health. The American
Medical Association grants BDLStm Provider status to persons who successfully complete the course.
