Due to the proximity to the chemical plant, the hospital has historically prepared for a potential disaster such as this. The disaster team is paged, anticipating multiple casualties resulting from this disaster. The proximity of the chemical plant leaves little time for the emergency department to prepare for what is arriving.

Hello. Unfortunately your question is incomplete and this makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, by searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find the full version of that question. In this full version we could see that a HAZMAT group was formed and divided into 3 teams and one of these teams was responsible for setting up a fast lane decontamination tent in the parking lot. Based on this, the question wants to know which areas should be included in the flow of decontamination tents. In that case, I hope the answer below can help you.

Answer and Explanation:

It is important to create a triage area that divides affected individuals into those who will need decontamination and those who will need treatment. In that case, a decontamination area and a treatment area should be considered.

However, it is necessary to include an area of rapid and emergency care, so that individuals with fatal injuries are treated quickly, without slowing down the care of other individuals with simpler injuries.
