What would be a primary use of a stretcher at an emergency site?

The primary use of a stretcher at an emergency site is to transport injured individuals. Stretchers are specifically designed for the safe and efficient movement of patients who are unable to walk due to their injuries. They provide support and stability, minimizing the risk of further injury during transport. In emergency situations, time is critical, and using a stretcher allows responders to quickly and effectively move a victim to a treatment area or transport them to a medical facility while ensuring their safety and comfort.

While storing emergency supplies, serving as a barrier, or providing shade might be relevant in specific contexts, these functions are not the primary purpose of a stretcher. The primary intent and design of a stretcher focus on patient movement.
