EV53 - PEP 3G: Federal Radiological Response Teams (Groves)

Lake Sheen A   14:00 - 16:00

 
This Presentation will offer a review of both Federal and State (Federally-Funded) Radiological/Nuclear Emergency Response Teams/Assets. It should be noted that FIRST AND FOREMOST—ALL EMERGENCIES ARE LOCAL (AND AT BEST REGIONAL). The response times for both Federal and State resources are not fixed; so it is imperative that local jurisdictions have planned for the first 24+ hours without outside support. It is critical that “regional” plans be in place, documented, trained and exercised if your response is to be effective! Integration of the Federal and State assets will be important in achieving a successful response during the early and intermediate phases of the radiological/nuclear emergency.
