Serving First Responders Since
2000
|
|
This website was created
to help improve the response capabilities of members assigned to
civilian and military organizations and agencies that could respond to
terrorist attacks or events
involving the use of a weapon of mass destruction (WMD) (e.g., chemical,
biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive material). For the purpose
of this website, first
responders are members of emergency communications centers (ECCs);
emergency medical services (EMS), fire,
and rescue services; hazmat (HAZMAT) teams; law enforcement agencies;
bomb squads; SWAT; hospitals; public health; risk management;
security; emergency and disaster management;
transportation and public works; gas, water and electric companies,
and the American Red Cross, etc. Through information sharing, networking, planning, exercises, and research, first
responders will become better prepared to respond to
and manage emergencies involving Weapons of Mass Destruction
(WMD).
This arrangement of links provides for quick access and review by first
responders.
