Which type of information should never be transmitted over the radio regarding victims?

The transmission of names of deceased or seriously injured persons over the radio is avoided to protect both the privacy of victims and their families, as well as to ensure that sensitive information is not disseminated inappropriately or widely. Sharing such information can lead to unnecessary distress or panic among the community and can violate confidentiality and respect for the individuals involved.

While the names of injured persons, the locations of victims, and the number of victims can be critical for operational response and medical attention, the names of those who are deceased or in a critical condition carry a heavier weight in terms of ethical considerations and the need for privacy. Proper protocols dictate that this type of information should be communicated in a secure manner, typically face-to-face or through secure channels, rather than over the radio where it can be overheard by unintended listeners.
