Subject: With the creation of the National Disaster Medical System (NDMS), the federal government has moved to develop a national medical plan for responding to major mass casualty situations resulting from either a civilian disaster which overwhelms state and local resources or an overseas conventional conflict. To date, the mental health aspects of this plan have received little attention. This article discusses the rationale for adding a comprehensive mental health component to NDMS within the context of the complementary needs of disaster survivors and rescuers
