1 -- A mass casualty incident is when 100 or more casualties are involved. A multiple casualty incident is one in which 2 to 100 persons are involved. A man-made accidental disaster is one that is not caused by natural hazards but by accident. An intentional man-made disaster is also not caused by natural hazards but is done intentionally.
