What is a temporary morgue system?

It is a deployable combination of refrigeration, storage racks, trays or boards, handling equipment, monitoring, power planning, and operating procedures used when permanent capacity is unavailable or insufficient.

Who uses temporary morgue systems?

Hospitals, medical examiners, coroners, public health agencies, emergency managers, funeral professionals, military units, and regional response partners may use them.

How quickly can systems be deployed?

Deployment depends on preparedness, equipment availability, capacity, site readiness, power, access, distance, and the incident. Pre-event planning materially shortens activation time.
