Mass fatality and mass casualty incidents may, and often do, occur simultaneously. Mass fatality incidents, differ from mass casualty incidents in that most, if not all, of the victims of the incident are deceased. A catastrophic plane crash with no survivors is an example of a mass fatality incident.
A multiple casualty incident is one in which there are multiple casualties. The key difference from a mass casualty incident is that in a multiple casualty incident the resources available are sufficient to manage the needs of the victims. The issue of resource availability is therefore critical to the understanding of these concepts.
