6.6 Role of Forensic Medicine in Mass Disasters

The disaster's dead management (the 2015 earthquake's lessons — the Nepal experience's core): the Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) cycle: the scene's management (the bodies' documentation — the post-mortem data); the examination (the autopsy-lite: the external + the samples); the identification's methods (the primary: the fingerprints, the dental, the DNA; the secondary: the belongings, the features); the release (the families' receipt); the humanitarianprinciples: the dignity (the dead's respect — the culture's rites); the families' right-to-know (the identification's duty); the Interpol's DVI standards (the international guide); the Nepal practice: the 2015's mass-fatalities' management (the ad-hoc's faces — the identification's difficulty; the DVI's institutionalisation's post-earthquake agenda); the aviation disasters' faces (the KTM-crash cases' lore — the Aviation course's companion).
