The mass casualty attack (MANV) describes a situation in which a large number of those affected have to be cared for. This can be the case, for example, in the case of railway accidents, bomb attacks, large-scale ABC operations, epidemics or plane crashes. In order to include not only injured people, but also sick people or those “only” in need of care, the abbreviation MANV is sometimes associated with mass attacks on those in need of care and assistance. In many state laws there is also the term major loss situation (also known as major accident, especially in Austria). Since there are regularly many injured people or those in need of care, the term is a synonym for mass casualties.
