Background: Mass casualty incidents (MCI) pose significant challenges to existing resources, entailing multiagency collaboration. Triage is a critical component in the management of MCIs, but the lack of a universally accepted triage system can hinder collaboration and lead to preventable loss of life. This multinational study uses validated patient cards (cases) based on real MCIs to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a novel Translational Triage Tool (TTT) in primary triage assessment of mass casualty victims.

- - Saudi Arabia's health sector struggles with slow response times, hard-to-reach areas, and limited resources in disaster and prehospital care, which creates a need for effective solutions.
- - Integrating drone technology could revolutionize healthcare delivery by speeding up response times, providing access to remote locations, and alleviating pressure on existing medical resources, supported by global case studies.
- - Successful implementation of drones in healthcare requires clear regulations, investment in research, and cooperation between government and private sectors to improve patient outcomes and overall efficiency in Saudi Arabia.
This study evaluates the perceptions of preparedness and willingness to work during disasters and public health emergencies among 213 healthcare workers at hospitals in the southern region of Saudi Arabia by using a quantitative survey (Fight or Flight). The results showed that participants' willingness to work unconditionally during disasters and emergencies varied based on the type of condition: natural disasters (61.97%), seasonal influenza pandemic (52.
