Pacific Angel 2015

Elsie Cessy, an emergency nurse at Goroka Hospital in Goroka, Papua New Guinea, rushes to triage and stabilize a simulated bus crush survivor during a mass casualty response exercise in operation Pacific Angel 15-4, June 5, 2015. The hospital worked for a week with U.S. military doctors, nurses and medics to develop its first disaster response plan -- essentially, a plan for situations when standard patient treatment and transport systems would be highly stressed. The hospital staff chose a simulated bus rollover as their final test. Efforts undertaken during Pacific Angel help multilateral militaries in the Pacific improve and build relationships across a wide spectrum of civic operations, which bolsters each nation???s capacity to respond and support future humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations.
