When To Use Unified Command
UC may be used whenever multiple jurisdictions are involved in a response effort, such as:
Differing geographical boundaries
Differing governmental levels
Differing functional responsibilities

Emergency Response Guidebook
Emergency Response Guidebook www.ihresources.com
ERG provides responders with capability of predicting downwind hazards at CBRNE event
Presenter’s Name June 17, 2003
Emergency Response Guidebook (continued)If available, software such as ADASHI can help make downwind hazard prediction quicker

Establishment of Zones
Hot Zone (Exclusion Zone)
Warm Zone (Contamination Reduction Zone)
Cold Zone (Support Zone)
Presenter’s Name June 17, 2003
Using the Guidebook
Step 1:
Using chemical name, look-up 4 digit ID number (blue pages)
If chemical name is not found, use:
Nerve: 2810
Blood: 1051
Presenter’s Name June 17, 2003
Using the Guidebook (continued)
Step 2:
Determine isolate and protect distances (green pages)
Need to know the size and time of release
ID Name Isolate Protect Day
Protect Night
Isolate Protect Day
Protect Night
1017 Chlorine 100 ft. 0.2 miles 0.8 miles 800 ft. 1.5 miles 4.6miles
Small Spills Large Spills
Presenter’s Name June 17, 2003
Using the Guidebook (continued)
Step 3:
Draw circle with radius of isolation distance
Mark the wind direction
Draw a box size of protect distance, place upwind edge over center of the circle towards downwind

Actions After Prediction
Pass information to the Incident Commander
Warn
Evacuate or shelter in place?
Pass information to the ICwww.viktoria.se
Presenter’s Name June 17, 2003
Other Considerations
Hazard prediction: estimate only
Reconnaissance determines actual hazard

Incident Action Plan (IAP)
Overall incident objectives and strategies
Written plan preferable to oral plan, because it clearly demonstrates responsibility
IAP is designed around operational periods
Operational period is no longer than 24 hours
Presenter’s Name June 17, 2003
Phases of Comprehensive IAP
1. Understand the situation
2. Establish incident objectives and strategy
3. Develop the plan
4. Prepare and disseminate the plan
5. Evaluate and revise the plan
Presenter’s Name June 17, 2003
Construction of Incident Action Plan1. Briefing on situation and resource status
2. Set control objectives
3. Plot control lines and division boundaries
4. Specify tactics for each division or group
5. Specify resources needed by division or group
6. Specify facilities and reporting locations; plot on map
7. Place resource and overhead personnel order
8. Consider communications, medical, and traffic plan requirements
Presenter’s Name June 17, 2003
Implementation of Incident Action Plan
1. Set the deadline for completing IAP attachments
2. Obtain plan attachments and review them for accuracy
3. Determine the number of IAPs required
4. IAP reproduced for distribution
5. Ensure IAP is up to date and complete prior to operations briefing
6. Provide the IAP briefing plan and distribute prior to new operational period

IC and Law Enforcement Response Actions Scenario—Situational Considerations1. The wind is southwest to northeast at five miles per hour
2. The humidity level is 80%
3. It is during evening rush hour
4. The large structures within the initial three blocks of downwind will channelize the associated hazard.
Presenter’s Name June 17, 2003
IC and Law Enforcement Response Actions—Scenario Discussion
1. You were 1,000 feet from the initial blast site at the time of detonation. What should you do?
2. How will you conduct crowd control?
3. How will you isolate the site to prevent further contamination and safeguard evidence?
4. What action needs to be taken to address the downwind hazard?
Presenter’s Name June 17, 2003
IC and Law Enforcement Response Actions—Scenario Discussion (continued)5. From your modeling of the site, what buildings are likely to be
affected from downwind hazards?
6. What assets do you have within the community to assist with the WMD site?
7. Is there a risk of multiple devices?

Law Enforcement Response Actions
Begin upon notification that an incident has occurred
Address immediate life and safety needs
Massachusetts State Police Incident Command Post
www.pbase.com
Presenter’s Name June 17, 2003
Location of Incident Command Post
Upwind, uphill, and/or upstream
Far enough from incident site to maintain focus and reduce distractions
Initially use mobile command unit
Fixed facilities
Other preplanned, secured, sheltered facility
Presenter’s Name June 17, 2003
Establishment of CommunicationsActivate communications unit/leader
Assign individual radio channels to groups, branches, and/or divisions
Request dedicated cellular frequencies
Do not use departmental 10-codes—speak in plain English
Identify communications incompatibilities
Be prepared to use runner and liaison assistants
Presenter’s Name June 17, 2003
Establishment of PerimetersEstablish Perimeters:
Where incident occurred
Paths of entry and exit
Where victims are moved
Set up barriers
Document:
Exit and entry of all individuals
Original location of victims or objects
Actions of anyone that changes or affects the scene

Differences Between HazMat and CBRNEA CBRNE incident is a calculated act intended to maim and/or kill people, destroy property, or topple existing infrastructures
CBRNE agents are supertoxic materials, and not typically the hazardous substances found at a HazMat incident
Presenter’s Name June 17, 2003
Evidence Preservation
Actions and observations are very important
Everything is potential evidence
Communicate observations of evidence to other responders and to incident command
Record observations and actions as soon as possible
Victims can provide critical evidence
Presenter’s Name June 17, 2003
Initial Response to SceneFirst-arriving responder:
Note prearrival information (time, date, address, etc.)
Be aware of any persons or vehicles leaving crime scene
Note possible secondary crime scenes
Make initial observations (look, listen, smell)
Treat crime as ongoing until otherwise known
Document all observations
Presenter’s Name June 17, 2003
Crime Scene Considerations
Golden Rule: Leave it alone, unless it is absolutely necessary for the performance of duties with law enforcement approval
Second Rule: Do the job using the fewest number of people possible
