The DVI Hungary and its' first deployment

Keywords: disaster, victim, identification, DVI, Interpol, mass fatality incident, Mermaid

Abstract

This paper is on the disaster victim identification process, under the Interpol protocol. The protocol has five phases and offers a scientifically sound methodology to identify the deceased. After several years of planning, Hungary has established the DVI Team in 2018. Although, even before 2018 some mass fatality disasters occurred. In 2019 was the first deployment, after the accident of the Hableany sightseeing cruise, in Budapest, which caused the death of 29 and the missing of 1.
