DMAT – Disaster Medical Assistance Team

DMAT is a mobile medical support team ready to provide medical assistance in a national disaster. Part of the National Disaster Medical System, the Saint Vincent-sponsored regional team, DMAT PA-3, is made up of specially trained medical and non-medical volunteer personnel.

DMAT volunteers are credentialed, trained, equipped and ready for rapid deployment in disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes and floods, or acts of terrorism. DMAT volunteers may also be deployed for precautionary measures at major events.

Saint Vincent established the Erie-based DMAT in 2002 and will be one of approximately 30 Level-1 DMATs in the United States.
