EV37 - PEP 1H: RDD Guidance (Buddemeier)Lake Sheen B 08:00 - 10:00 |
| Great strides have been made in the past few years to improve our response preparedness capabilities, including the release of updated guidance on response to RDDs, animations that visualize the RDD Response tactics, H&S Officer guidance for responder support to nuclear detonations, an NCRP report on responder dosimetry, a new PAG Manual, FEMA's RadResponder platform for collecting, sharing, and using radiological data, the development of a FEMA Radiological Operations Support Specialist (ROSS) position (including new tools, Job Aids, and training to support the ROSS), operational support tools early phase hazard area assessments, and lots of great new communication tools to help inform the public, responders, and decision makers on the best way to reduce the consequences of radiological and nuclear incidents. This session will review all of these new tools and capabilities, and how health physicists can access them to support radiological and nuclear response training and preparedness efforts. |
