"Recognizing a WMD Incident Through Calls for Service, Dispatch Patterns, & Signs and Symptoms "
Live Response explains the importance of recognizing a terrorist incident and knowing the physical characteristics of WMD agents or materials that could be reported by victims at the scene and calls to the 9-1-1 system. By recognizing a potential WMD incident, dispatchers can convey important information that may protect first responders arriving on the scene, contributing to responder safety.
Live Response expert guests welcome viewer questions concerning medical monitoring of response personnel and invite viewers to call, e-mail, or fax their questions during the broadcast.
