The report focuses on a recurring operational distinction between compact single-warhead impact events and dispersed cluster-munition pattern events. Unlike routine mass-casualty incident recognition, MDA dispatch did not need to infer the possibility of a dispersed event only from accumulating emergency calls. While missiles are in flight, the Home Front Command (HFC) broadcasts real-time threat alerts through multiple public channels: the official HFC app, direct cell broadcasts to all phones in the threatened area, and live overlays on all television channels. Command and dispatch personnel from MDA used this publicly available information as an early threat layer at or before the initial dispatch phase. Emergency calls, motorcycle first-responder reports, volunteer responder reports, and ambulance crew updates then refined the actual medical footprint. Across six events, cluster-munition pattern events involved four-to-six municipalities and maximum geographic spread of 6.9km to 11.5km, whereas single-warhead events remained within one municipality and had maximum geographic spread of less than 400 meters. The events suggest that dispersed missile attacks require EMS command to combine prehospital warning-system visibility with a distributed responder network that functions as a forward sensor layer for dispatch and command.</p>","PeriodicalId":20400,"journal":{"name":"Prehospital and Disaster Medicine","volume":"41 1","pages":"e33"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149231162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to present a drone-integrated system that enables non-contact vital sign measurement, remote triage, and real-time data transmission during MCIs.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The system development process involved three steps: (1) developing the Vital-Sign Measurement Module; (2) developing the Triage Decision Support Module; and (3) developing the User Interfaces and Data Transmission Module to enable information transmission between dispatch centers and response teams. Within the Vital-Sign Measurement Module, heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), oxygen saturation (SpO<sub>2</sub>), and body temperature (BT) measurement algorithms were developed using the following techniques, respectively: video-based photoplethysmography (vPPG), analysis of thermal temperature fluctuations around the nose, a regression-based neural network approach, and heat maps and thermal thresholding.

Containment required coordinated international management because passengers and crew embarked and disembarked at several international ports-of-call prior to outbreak recognition, resulting in cross-border transmission potential. Among those who disembarked, several traveled on flights to various destinations. Cases subsequently manifested in multiple countries, including Tristan da Cunha, Spain, France, Switzerland, South Africa, Canada, and The Netherlands. Upon notification, international health authorities implemented containment measures, such as contact tracing, quarantine, and isolation. Uniquely, ANDV poses distinctive risks due to its immediately prodromal presymptomatic transmission potential, initial non-specific flu-like symptoms, prolonged incubation period, conceivable long-term neurologic and endocrinologic sequalae, high case fatality rates (CFRs), and possibility of international dissemination.
