Résumé

Uncertainty is the defining state of the first minutes and hours of a mass casualty event, yet decisions must be taken and actions must happen before the picture is complete. To move forwards in face of uncertainty, we must acknowledge that there will be insufficient information for us to be comfortable in our decisions and actions. We discuss here a range of solutions that allow us to tolerate, even flourish, in the midst of uncertainty.
