In a mass casualty situation, the priority for treatment should be given to individuals who are critically injured but have the potential for survival if they receive immediate care. This typically includes those with airway obstructions, severe bleeding, or signs of shock. The triage system, often using colors like red for immediate treatment, helps responders identify who needs urgent care first. Always assess the situation based on the urgency of injuries and the likelihood of recovery with prompt intervention.

You should drink at least 16 to 32 ounces of water to treat heat cramps. This water will help cool the body down enough to let the cramps subside.
If a casualty has an eye injury, you should not touch or apply pressure to the eye. Gently cover the injured eye with a sterile dressing or clean cloth to protect it and seek medical help immediately. Encourage the casualty to keep their uninjured eye closed to reduce movement.
