Multiple stressor debriefing and the American Red Cross: the East Bay Hills fire experience.

Workers who are mobilized to help with disaster relief are exposed to a multitude of stressors. Debriefing may prevent or minimize the negative consequences of stress reactions in relief personnel. The multiple stressor debriefing (MSD) intervention promotes the discussion of troubling aspects of the disaster work in a group format. This article discusses two models of debriefing and describes how the MSD model was used with American Red Cross personnel during the East Bay Hills firestorm in California. Specific recommendations are made for debriefing in large-scale, long-term disaster relief efforts.
