With the September 11, 2001
tragedies, we all became acutely aware that terrorism on American soil
is very much a reality. Even before these tragic events, our local
elected officials recognized that Hampton Roads may be at risk and the
region needs to be prepared. The cities and counties of Hampton Roads
have joined together and developed a regional plan for a Metropolitan
Medical Response System (MMRS).
The mission of the Hampton Roads Metropolitan
Medical Response System is to support and enhance
Hampton Roads public safety, hospital, public health
and emergency management response capabilities to
manage mass casualty incidents during the first
crucial hours caused by terrorist attacks using
WMD/CBRNE, epidemic disease outbreaks, natural
disasters or hazardous materials incidents.
