Joint Trauma System Clinical Practice Guidelines
Joint Trauma System, Defense Health Agency
The Prolonged Casualty Care guideline is uniquely relevant to disasters (caring for casualties for hours-to-days when evacuation/hospitals are unavailable); burn, crush injury, and hypothermia CPGs also map directly to disaster scenarios.
Editor's notes
Written for medics/clinicians, not laypeople — curate a subset and add a lay disclaimer. Spot-check individual PDFs for third-party figures before bundling.
