  3. FRMAC Integration • DOE has initial lead. EPA leads later phases of response. • A-Team not part of FRMAC, but closely linked. Its recommendations based on FRMAC products. • CM Augmentation State, Tribes, Local NARAC FBI AMS NASA RAP FRMAC NRC CMHT DoD CMRT DHS/ FEMA REAC/ TS EPA A-Team

  4. Strategy Mission: Provide technical assistance to authorities charged with protecting the public, responders and the environment from the consequence of a nuclear or radiological incident. • People • Develop and maintain a cadre of individuals with expertise in the areas of radiological data collection, assessment, and interpretation. • Tools/Methods • Establish and maintain equipment, tools, facilities, and methodologies to support the mission. • Organization • Organize and integrate the radiological hazard consequence assessment capabilities to effectively support key leaders and incident management.

  5. People (Updates) Create broader base with mix of skills • Knowledge base • Offer FRMAC liaison training • Develop just-in-time training • Develop medical training framework • Tiered positions • Create sustainable workforce • Leverage external expertise • Access radiation experts across the U.S.

  6. Tools/Methods (Updates) Put tools in more people’s hands • Data management • RadResponder, RadResponderPro • Assessment • TurboFRMAC, TurboFRMACWeb • Communications • CMweb • HSIN: FRMAC Community of Interest (COI) • Additional standard FRMAC products • Simplified NARAC briefing products for NPP

  7. Organization (Updates) • Team composition • Coordination rather than monitoring • Deployment strategies • RAP modified role • “Advance Party” resurrection • CMHT expanded role • Team augmentation • Leverage existing reserve corps infrastructures • Planning • Menu-like approach for IPX’s • Exercises Capacity for flexible, scalable response

  8. What This Means for You • More FRMAC knowledge • Interpret products, knowledge of resources, decision support • Tailored expertise • More capability • Fasterassistance • Better integration
