Pediatric Surge Annex Checklist Plan Element Instructions: HCCs must develop complementary coalition-level annexes to their base medical surge/trauma mass casualty response plan(s) to manage a large number of casualties with specific needs. Recipients should incorporate the HCC annexes into their jurisdiction's plan for awareness and to support coordination of state resources. In addition to the usual information management and resource coordination functions, each specialty surge annex framework should be similarly formatted and emphasize the following core elements: Indicators/triggers and alerting/notifications of a specialty event Initial coordination mechanism and information gathering to determine impact and specialty needs Documentation of available local, state, and interstate resources that can support the specialty response and key resource gaps that may require external support (including inpatient and outpatient resources) Access to subject matter experts local, regional, and national Prioritization method for specialty patient transfers (e.g., which patients are most suited for transfer to a specialty facility) Relevant baseline or just-in-time training to support specialty care Pediatric in addition to the above consider Local risks for pediatric-specific mass casualty events (e.g., schools, transportation accidents) Age-appropriate medical supplies Mental health and age-appropriate support resources Pediatric/Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) evacuation resources and coalition plan Coordination mechanisms with dedicated children s hospital(s) 1.
