Minimize casualty’s exposure to the elements. Keep protective gear on or with the casualty if feasible.
Replace wet clothing with dry if possible. Get the casualty onto an insulated surface as soon as possible.
Apply the Ready-Heat Blanket from the HypothermiaPrevention and Management Kit (HPMK) to the casualty’s torso (not directly on the skin) and cover the casualty with the Heat-Reflective Shell (HRS).
If an HRS is not available, the previously recommended combination of the Blizzard Survival Blanket and the Ready Heat blanket may also be used.
If the items mentioned above are not available, use poncho liners, sleeping bags, or anything that will retain heat and keep the casualty dry.
Use a portable fluid warmer capable of warming all IV fluids including blood products.
Protect the casualty from wind if doors must be kept open.
