The first thing to do is set up a system and start triaging casualties. You send one wave of first responders through with a tagging system - minor wounded, moderate walking wounded, severely wounded/not mobile, emergency/first priority wounded, dead. Based upon this triage, you start sorting people into where they need to go - emergency/first priority go straight into an ambulance for transport, minor wounded and moderate walking wounded go to the on-site treatment station and severely wounded/not mobile are suited up and stabilized for transport. The dead are left in place - they can be attended to after the living have been taken care of.

When there are mass casualties, it is crucial to first ensure personal safety and call emergency services. Provide any immediate medical assistance to the injured individuals, such as stopping bleeding or performing CPR if trained. If possible, try to gather information and relay it to emergency responders to help them assess the situation and allocate resources effectively. Follow instructions given by emergency personnel and be prepared to assist in any way needed.
