In July of this year the FICEMS endorsed the SALT Triage method. Dr. Phillip Coule of the NDLS Foundation released the following statement ( http://Register.NDLSF.org );

On July 8 all of the members of Federal Inter-agency Committee on EMS (members: DOT, DOD, HHS, DHS, and FCC) concurred with the following statement “The FICEMS recommends that state and local Emergency Medical Services (EMS) systems improve their mass casualty incident triage capabilities through adoption of triage protocols and systems that are based on the Model Uniform Core Criteria. Federal resources may be used to support development of capabilities which improve EMS system preparedness for mass casualty triage.”
The full text of their implementation plan is available at (this also includes a list of the members of FICEMS):
