French Red Plan - The Medical Chain

The Medical Chain

The medical chain is organized in three parts. The personal attributed to each part are identified by a colour armband: red-white-blue. These are the colours of the French flag, and are also the symbol of:

  • red: danger zone;
  • white: medical zone;
  • blue: secured zone (away from the disaster site).
