Awareness Level Lesson 2A Presentation

1. Awareness Level Lesson 2A Presentation Hazardous Materials for First Responders, 3rd Ed.

2. Are Hazardous Materials Present? • What clues may indicate the presence of hazardous materials? • What information do container shapes, placards, labels, and other markings give first responders? This lesson will help answer these questions and aid you in identifying the presence of hazardous materials. Awareness Level

3. Primary Clues Indicating Hazardous Materials • Occupancy types, locations, and pre-incident surveys • Container shapes • Transportation placards, labels, and markings • Other markings and colors (nontransportation) • Written resources • Senses • Monitoring and detection devices Awareness Level

4. Purposes of Pre-Incident Surveys • Reduce the number of on-site decisions • Reduce oversights • Reduce confusion • Reduce duplication of efforts (1 of 2) Awareness Level

5. Purposes of Pre-Incident Surveys • Identify the following items: • Exposures to people, property, environment • Types, quantities, and locations of hazardous materials • Dangers of the hazardous materials • Building features • Site characteristics • Possible access/egress difficulties • Inherent limitations of the responding organizations (2 of 2) Awareness Level

7. Provisions Included in a LERP • Designation of a community emergency coordinator and facility emergency coordinators • Procedures to be used by coordinators in notifying: • Public • Persons designated in the emergency plan • Methods for determining the occurrence of a release and the area or population likely to be affected by such release (2 of 3) Awareness Level

8. Provisions Included in a LERP • Description of emergency equipment and facilities in the community • Evacuation plans • Training programs • Methods and schedules for exercising the emergency plans (3 of 3) Awareness Level
