EMT3® Go-Kit - START Triage

START-Based MCI Go-Kit for Patient Tracking and Incident Organization

The EMT3® Go-Kit - START Triage is designed to help responders manage patient flow, documentation, and accountability during a Mass Casualty Incident (MCI). Built around the EMT3® MCI management process, this kit supports the operational steps that occur after initial triage, including treatment area coordination, transportation tracking, and patient destination assignment.

This START-specific configuration is ideal for agencies using START triage protocols and looking for an organized way to manage patient information from the scene through transport.

Designed to Support the EMT3® MCI Management Process

Initial triage helps identify patient priority, but effective MCI response also requires a structured system for managing what happens next. The EMT3® Go-Kit provides responders with forms, worksheets, receipt holders, count cards, and triage tags designed to support patient movement from treatment to transportation and destination tracking.

The system helps support key MCI roles, including Treatment Unit Leader, Transportation Unit Leader, and other command-level personnel responsible for maintaining situational awareness and patient accountability.

Individual components may also be reordered separately for replenishment, training, or expansion purposes.

Supports Treatment, Transportation, and Destination Tracking

The included documentation tools help responders record patient status, treatment area counts, ambulance staging, bed availability, and patient destination information. By organizing this information in one go-kit, agencies can improve communication between operational roles and maintain a clearer picture of patient movement throughout the incident.

This kit is especially useful for departments building or standardizing their MCI response process around START triage and EMT3® patient tracking workflows.

Optional Add-Ons for a More Complete MCI Response Setup

Departments can further support their START triage response with optional accessories such as triage ribbon dispensers, role identification vests, treatment area supplies, and refill components.

Common add-ons include:

• 6-Bay Triage Ribbon Dispenser - START Triage
• 4-Bay Triage Ribbon Dispenser
• Dynamic Vest Kits for MCI role identification
• Treatment Area Tarps & Flags
