Disaster victim identification

Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) is the process used by experts to accurately identify individuals involved in a mass disaster, such as a plane crash or natural catastrophe. It involves collecting and comparing evidence like fingerprints, dental records, DNA, and personal belongings to confirm identities. This process helps provide closure for families, supports legal procedures, and ensures accurate record-keeping. DVI teams work systematically to match remains with known identifiers, respecting the dignity of the deceased and their loved ones during a difficult time.
