National Disaster Medical System (NDMS): Definitive Care
The National Disaster Medical System (NDMS) partners with health care facilities to ensure a network is in place to provide care for American citizens and/or military casualties requiring additional or complex care unavailable within an area impacted by a natural, man-made disaster, military health emergency, or other public health emergency. In the event of a public health emergency, NDMS, through 65 VA and DOD Federal Coordinating Centers (FCCs), manages the medical evacuation from areas impacted by a disaster to designated reception facilities within the NDMS health care facility network.
