MODULE 2UNIT 1 Training at the Awareness Level Review
Unit 1 Learning Objective Each student will demonstrate a working knowledge of the awareness training materials as related to use of weapons of mass destruction
Student Performance Objectives (cont.) • Describe Potential Locations of terrorist acts and identify possible targets. • Describe how recognition is one of the most important aspects of a response to and incident. • Describe why WMD incidents require a safer response as compared to routine fire responses. • Describe what EMS personnel should be watchful for at the incident.
Student Performance Objectives (cont.) • Describe the types of clues for threat recognition. • Describe the scene warning signs of WMD use. • Describe what responders should be watchful for as secondary hazards during a response.
Student Performance Objectives (cont.) • Describe your role and how to implement a disaster plan and the advantages of such a plan. • Describe who will and how to collect intelligence at the scene of a WMD incident. • Describe the four types of plans for response.
The Standard • “Students must have completed adequate and proper training at the awareness level for events involving hazardous materials, and for WMD and other specialized training.”
Potential Targets • Whether you are in a densely populated metropolis or a quiet rural setting, there are potential targets for terrorism. The targets may differ but the intent is the same no matter where you are.
Who are the Targets • You are
Recognition • Recognition is the single most important thing you can do as a responder to a potential WMD event. • Special responses • Special Fire responses • Special EMS responses
Clues for Recognition • Occupancy/Location • Type of Event • Timing of Event • On Scene Warning Signs
Identification • Secondary devices Always be alert to the possibility that the hazard has been set on purpose. Responders should always be vigilant of secondary devices.
