What It Is
A TRIAGE DRILL BUILT ON THE PROCEDURE, NOT A TUTORIAL

Category Red: Landfall is a computer-based triage drill built for Miami-Dade Fire Rescue. It follows MDFR's Medical Operations Manual — Procedure 34 (Multiple Casualty Incidents) and Procedure 35 (START Triage) — step by step, and scores exactly what those procedures ask for: the first-arriving unit's radio sequence, MCI levels, ribbons rather than tags, 60 seconds per patient, tourniquets and airways during triage and nothing else.

The player is the officer on the first Rescue to reach a residential block the morning after a Category 4 hurricane: a house has lost its second floor, neighbors have dragged people into a flooded street, a generator has run all night in a closed garage, and a live power line is down at the east end. The player walks the scene, checks each patient, reads the findings and ties a ribbon. The clock does not stop, patients get worse, and units arrive when they arrive.

The objective

Run the first-arriving unit exactly as procedure says, then triage twelve patients at protocol tempo with zero under-triage.

The traps

The loudest patient who is not the sickest. The quiet diabetic who is. The apneic child who lives only if JumpSTART is applied. The walking-wounded nurse with CO exposure who collapses ten minutes in. The body under the debris that is easy to walk past.

The medic makes the call

The screen shows the findings — respirations, pulse, capillary refill, mental status. The medic decides what they mean. A guided mode that flags RED findings is available for orientation and non-clinical staff.

Rules of Engagement
FOUR PHASES. ONE CLOCK.
Every run follows the same arc a real first-arriving unit does — and the game holds you to the timing procedure sets.
01
📻

Size-up

Command, MCI level, hazards, staging, walking wounded — in order, inside 90 seconds. The radio sequence is scored as written.

02
🎗️

Sweep

Ribbons, tourniquets and airways only. 60 seconds per patient. The first RED finding ends the assessment — keep moving.

03
⏱️

Adapt

The garage opens at T+4. A GREEN goes down at T+9. Command takes over at T+12. Re-triage is part of the job.

04
🚑

Transport

REDs bypass treatment. Sequence who rides in which rescue; the run ends when every RED is rolling.

Triage categories

One ribbon per patient, tied to an upper extremity. When in doubt, go more urgent.

REDImmediate
YELLOWDelayed
GREENWalking
BLACKDeceased
ONE HARD FAIL

Approach the downed power line before it is secured and the run ends with a responder down.

What It Measures
THE DEBRIEF IS READY WHEN THE RUN ENDS

Every run ends in a Post Incident Analysis: a letter grade, ten pass/fail objectives, and a patient-by-patient table of the player's ribbon against protocol with the teaching point for each miss.

Why It Is Useful
PRACTICE WITHOUT THE SET-UP

🅿️ No parking lot required

A full-scale MCI drill takes a day, a parking lot and dozens of volunteers. This runs on any computer, any time, and no two runs place the patients the same way.

🩺 The medic makes the call

The screen shows the assessment findings — respirations, pulse, capillary refill, mental status; the medic decides what they mean. Guided mode flags RED findings for orientation and non-clinical staff.

📘 Built on MDFR procedure

Procedures 34 and 35 as written: ribbons not tags, 60 sec per patient, tourniquets during triage, no CPR, MCI level thresholds, REDs straight to transport.

🛠️ Custom versions can be produced

Another department's protocol, a different disaster, local hospitals and unit numbers — the patients and the rules are easy to change.

💻 Nothing to install

One file or one link. No accounts, no IT tickets. It works on the training-room laptop as it is.

📊 Debrief built in

Grade, objectives and the patient table appear the moment the run ends — ready for the station-level discussion, or for an instructor's records.

Who It's For
MDFR FIRST. THEN EVERYONE WHO TEACHES START
MDFR training and the station level first. Beyond that: other fire rescue and EMS training divisions, emergency-management offices getting ready for hurricane season, paramedic and nursing programs that teach START/JumpSTART. Department licenses and custom scenarios are available on request.

FAQ
COMMON QUESTIONS
What do we need to run it?
Any modern browser on any computer — the training-room laptop as it is. There is nothing to install, no accounts and no IT ticket. The game ships as a single file or a single link.
Is it a clinical reference?
No. It is a training aid aligned with Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Procedures 34 & 35 (rev. 07/2019). Your agency's protocol and medical director govern. It is not endorsed by or affiliated with Miami-Dade Fire Rescue.
Our department uses a different triage protocol. Can it be adapted?
Yes. Another department's protocol, a different disaster, local hospitals and unit numbers — the patients and the rules are designed to change. Custom versions are produced on request.
How long is one run?
About 20 minutes on the real-time incident clock, followed by the Post Incident Analysis. It fits inside a shift briefing or a classroom block, and it can be replayed — patient placement changes every run.
Does it work for people who are not clinicians?
A guided mode flags findings that meet a RED criterion, which suits orientation, dispatch, emergency-management staff and students. By default it is off: the medic reads the numbers and makes the call, as on a real scene.
How is it licensed?
Department licenses and custom scenarios are available on request. Tell us your agency, the number of stations or seats, and whether you need a custom version; we will send a playable build, the gameplay video and scenario documentation.
