Medical Surge Kit – SALT Configuration
The Medical Surge Kit – SALT Configuration supports hospitals, receiving facilities, and healthcare coalitions preparing for mass casualty incidents, large public events, and patient surge operations. This kit combines surge response tools with both physical and digital HICS command resources to help facilities organize patient intake, activate hospital incident command, and maintain patient accountability during high-volume incidents.
Key Features
- Supports Hospital Incident Command System (HICS) activation
- Includes both physical and digital HICS command board tools
- Expands patient management to receiving facilities
- Supports self-transport and walk-in patient accountability
- Aligns hospital surge operations with field response coordination
Built for Hospital Surge & HICS Coordination
During a mass casualty incident, hospitals may need to rapidly activate incident command, expand treatment capacity, coordinate staff assignments, and manage patients arriving through multiple pathways. The Medical Surge Kit provides a structured set of tools to support both patient-facing surge operations and hospital command coordination.
By including HICS command board resources alongside SRS® patient management tools, this package helps receiving facilities establish a more organized response from initial patient arrival through treatment area coordination and incident documentation.
SALT Configuration
This version is configured for healthcare systems and response partners using SALT triage methodology. It supports interoperability with SALT-based field operations while helping hospitals maintain continuity between prehospital patient categorization, receiving facility intake, and ongoing patient tracking.

Medical Surge Kit for HICS, Hospital MCI & Patient Surge Preparedness
The Medical Surge Kit – SALT Configuration helps hospitals prepare for the operational demands that follow mass casualty incidents, major planned events, transportation accidents, severe weather events, and other emergencies that create a sudden increase in patient volume.
In these situations, hospitals must manage more than clinical care. Teams may need to activate Hospital Incident Command, organize treatment areas, track patients, assign roles, coordinate resources, and maintain situational awareness across departments. This kit supports those functions by combining patient management resources with HICS command board tools.
Supports Physical and Digital HICS Command Operations
The included HICS Command Board Toolkit provides a visual command structure for organizing hospital incident roles, assignments, and response activity. The Digital HICS Command Board adds a digital option for teams that need to support planning, documentation, coordination, or training across multiple users or locations.
Together, these tools help hospitals strengthen incident command visibility and improve coordination during exercises, planned events, and active response operations.
Supports Patient Accountability at the Receiving Facility
Patient accountability does not end when patients leave the incident scene. Hospitals may receive patients by ambulance, private vehicle, public transportation, or walk-in arrival. The SRS® components included in this kit help facilities organize patient intake, documentation, and tracking during periods of high patient volume.
Bridges Field Response and Hospital Operations
The Medical Surge Kit helps create a stronger connection between field response and hospital operations by supporting compatible patient management, triage awareness, and command coordination. This is especially valuable for healthcare coalitions, regional preparedness programs, and large public event planning where multiple agencies and receiving facilities may be involved.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this kit designed for?
This kit is designed for hospitals, receiving facilities, healthcare systems, healthcare coalitions, emergency management teams, and organizations responsible for patient surge planning and HICS coordination.
Why does this kit include HICS command board tools?
Hospital surge response requires more than patient tracking. HICS command board tools help facilities establish incident command roles, manage assignments, coordinate resources, and maintain situational awareness during complex incidents.
What does the Digital HICS Command Board support?
The Digital HICS Command Board provides a digital option for HICS coordination, planning, and incident documentation. It can support teams that need a digital command structure in addition to the physical HICS board.
Can this kit support self-transport patients?
Yes. The included SRS® resources support patient intake and accountability for patients who arrive outside of traditional EMS transport channels.
Is this kit part of the Major Event Readiness Package series?
Yes. The Medical Surge Kit serves as the hospital and receiving facility component within the broader Major Event Readiness Package series.
