8. Ambulance Exchange Point

This video explains what an Ambulance Exchange Point (AEP) is and how it fits into Active Shooter Incident Management once a casualty collection point and rescue task forces are in place. The instructor defines the AEP as a secure warm‑zone location where patients are handed off from rescue task forces to ambulances, and breaks down how Tactical, Triage, and Transport coordinate to choose the site, secure it, control routes, load patients based on triage categories, and move them quickly to trauma centers. The focus is on cutting time to definitive care while maintaining security, clear roles, and an organized flow of casualties to maximize survival.
