Emergency Action for Chemical and Biological Warfare Agents, Second
Edition is intended for the first responder to the scene of the
release of a chemical or biological warfare agent. Formatted
similarly to the Department of Transportation's Emergency Response
Guidebook and designed as a companion to the author's Handbook of
Chemical and Biological Warfare Agents, this book is divided into
concise chapters that focus on the first few hours after the
incident. Each chapter, or class index, is designed to give
responders vital information on a specific group of agents. This is
done rather than focusing on detailed information for individual
agents because the specific agent(s) may not be identified until
well into the response, long after many critical decisions have
been made. Adding more than 100 additional pages of material, the
second edition contains a wider library of agent classes that
covers more hazardous materials. It also includes updated
appendices that cover dissemination, the effects of weather and
terrain, isolation, protective shelters, and manual
decontamination. The book also provides a chemical/biological
terrorism emergency response checklist. Addressing the immediate
needs of first responders as they arrive at the scene of a chemical
or biological warfare agent release, this book serves as a guide
that gives critical information for key initial reactions without
having to read through long explanations. It is an essential quick
reference for first responders facing the release of chemical or
biological warfare agents.
