✦ Synopsis

The primary rescue workers were the men and women from the 185th Air National Guard Group. Because of the many deaths and massive destruction caused by the crash, a psychiatric consultation team was requested by the U.S. Air Force Surgeon General to assist the Air National Guard personnel. The consultation had four goals: (1) provide consultation to the Air National Guard on the mental health of the community; (2) provide direct psychiatric services on an acute basis and referral for follow-up care, if necessary; (3) train mental health personnel as consultants following disasters; and (4) develop and implement a research plan that would address both the immediate and long-term health consequences of the rescue work. The consultation included community-oriented interventions directed toward reducing the effects of psychological stress on high-risk groups. This paper describes the consultations and the 1-year follow-up.
