WMD/HazMat Response and Decontamination

Exercise Evaluation Guide:

Capability Description:
Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)/Hazardous Materials Response and Decontamination is the capability to assess and manage the consequences of a
hazardous materials release, either accidental or as part of a terrorist attac! "t includes testing and identifying all liely hazardous substances onsite# ensuring that
responders ha$e protecti$e clothing and equipment# conducting rescue operations to remo$e affected $ictims from the hazardous en$ironment# conducting
geographical sur$ey searches of suspected sources or contamination spreads and establishing isolation perimeters# mitigating the effects of hazardous materials,
decontaminating on%site $ictims, responders, and equipment# coordinating off%site decontamination &ith rele$ant agencies, and notifying en$ironmental, health, and
la& enforcement agencies ha$ing 'urisdiction for the incident to begin implementation of their standard e$idence collection and in$estigation procedures!
Capability Outcome:
Hazardous materials release is rapidly identified and mitigated# $ictims e(posed to the hazard are rescued, decontaminated, and treated# the impact of the release
is limited# and responders and at%ris populations are effecti$ely protected!
