Surviving the Secondary Device - the Rules Have Changed Video

Produced in partnership with the Georgia Emergency Management Agency, this video is designed to assist public safety officials in making informed decisions concerning the real potential of secondary explosive devices. These devices, which detonate after the initial explosion, target blast survivors, other individuals who converge on the scene, and, more often, responding public safety personnel. The possibility of secondary devices require that public safety officials not only look at how to protect the lives our citizens, but how to protect the responders. This video discusses policies and procedures for effectively responding to and managing a bomb incident, and for better ensuring the safety of the public and the emergency responder.

Surviving Weapons of Mass Destruction Video

The threat of terrorist incidents involving chemical or biological agents is very real. This training video is designed to enhance the survival and safety of emergency responders during such incidents. Although protecting the public is the principal mission of all public safety agencies, it is also important that emergency responders do not forget their own safety. This video, produced in partnership with the Georgia Emergency Management Agency, approaches safety from the individual responder and an agency perspective. Weapons of Mass Destruction - the First Responder Video

Being prepared for incidents involving weapons of mass destruction means knowing what to look for and how to react. Preparation means that all emergency response agencies, including law enforcement, fire, emergency medical services and others, at all levels of government, work together in responding to such events. This video, produced in partnership with the City of Seattle Fire Department, was prepared to familiarize emergency responders with steps they can take to mitigate the effects of such incidents and to better ensure their own and the public's safety.

Hope this info is helpful.
