Simulation Model Settings
1. Victims are defined as people who are injured in an earthquake and are in need of medical
help. The victims are placed in one of three (3) priority classes. Priority class 1 victims are seriously
injured and face imminent loss of life if not treated. Priority class 2 victims are those who can wait
for treatment but have to be admitted to a hospital for recovery. Finally, priority class 3 victims can
be treated without being admitted to a hospital.
2. Each victim generated will be assigned a number of attributes. These attributes include region
where the victim is from (the area affected by disaster is divided into regions), the severity of
sustained injury (therefore priority class), expected remaining lifetime if untreated, etc.
3. After a location for triage is secured, it becomes a casualty collection point (CCP), which a
field first-aid unit is settled. The field first-aid unit is responsible for classifying victims into priority
classes and providing initial (basic) treatment.
