HOSA Community Emergency Response Team) Skills Assessment (CERT) Practice

In triage, the color yellow signifies that the victim is urgent but not in immediate danger of death. This categorization indicates that while the individual requires medical attention soon, their condition is stable enough that a delay in treatment would not significantly worsen their situation. This helps responders prioritize care effectively, ensuring that those who are most at risk receive attention first, while still addressing the needs of those who may face worsening conditions if not treated promptly. Using a color-coded system assists emergency responders in making quick, informed decisions about patient care based on the severity of injuries and the availability of resources.
