This paper brings forward such general considerations as applicable to radiation mass casualty events including clear lines of communication, scalability of approach, whole-of-health approach; knowledge based approach; and multisectoral approach. Additionally, some key considerations of planning for mass casualty management systems are discussed, namely health systems, surge capacity and networking, risk and resources mapping, and others.

This means changing not only the response plan but the focus as well. Radiation emergencies can be intentional acts designed to hurt others, like a terrorist attack, or they can be accidents that occur when using radioactive material. A nuclear power plant accident, nuclear explosion or a dirty bomb are examples of radiation emergencies.
