FEMORS

The rapid and accurate identification of mass fatality victims is of critical importance to any disaster mitigation operation. Issues of probate cannot be resolved until a death certificate has been issued by the Medical Examiner. FEMORS was created to serve the needs of Medical Examiners in their mission to bring dignity and professionalism to caring for the deceased. The FEMORS task force duties may include: Initial Scene Response and Evaluation, Processing the Scene, Temporary Morgue Operations and Administration, and the roles of various forensic units within the morgue (e.g., pathologist, anthropologist, odontologist, radiologist, fingerprint specialist, DNA analyst, funeral director, and others), Victim Identification, Disposition of Human Remains (Embalming/casketing), Personal Effects, and Evidence Collection... FEMORS members are classified, based upon the level of expertise they have achieved through experience and education. FEMORS is a sponsored activity of the University..
