Disaster Victim Identification

Disaster Dental Response Team:  604-822-8822

The British Columbia Forensic Odontology Response Team is co-sponsored by:

• Bureau of Legal Dentistry
• Pacific Forensic Odontology Seminar
• British Columbia Coroners Service

Every year since 1992, BC-FORT members have gathered somewhere in the Province of BC and trained hard using mock exercises to be prepared for a mass fatality incident in western Canada.

BC-FORT comprises three teams:

• Postmortem records team
• Antemortem records team
• Computer (Win-ID) comparison team

BC-FORT and the Washington State response team cooperate on a continuing basis and are prepared to offer support to local, regional and national agencies requiring odontology disaster support.
