"A mass casualty incident (often shortened to MCI and sometimes called a multiple-casualty incident or multiple-casualty situation) is any incident in which emergency medical services resources, such as personnel and equipment, are overwhelmed by the number and severity of casualties."

If on desktop, double-click the word "MCI Declared" in your post, click on search good for "MCI Declared", and you'll find your answer in greater detail.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass-casualty_incident

I'd also recommend reading the wiki link; it's not terribly deep but it provides for some good context to different situations and how they're dealt with.

That's how I'm framing these events from now on...
