    Abstract:
    Rotor-wing aircraft have previously proven utility in disaster operations, but recent expert reviewers have identified areas of potential improvement in integration of helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) resources into disaster planning and management. This paper discusses salient points regarding helicopter operations in disaster management, using prior reports regarding rotor-wing aircraft utilization as a basis upon which to provide a concise review of HEMS operations in disasters.
