Abstract

On 12 October 2002, two bombs exploded on the island of Bali in Indonesia, destroying two bars in the tourist district of the holiday resort Kuta Beach. The explosions killed 202 people from 21 different countries, and >300 people were injured. A team of observers conducted structured and unstructured interviews, and lessons learned from the experience were identified. This report summarizes various elements of the response including: (1) prehospital care; (2) coordination; (3) hospital response; and (4) Australia's efforts in air evacuation.
