Chapter 17 - Emergency Management Flashcards by Jordan Hawkins

Every Air Force installation must have a rapid and effective system to quickly disseminate

Emergency information, such as watches, warnings, evacuation routes, and protective actions

Perfectly

Is a tactic used to divide an installation or operating location into two or more chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear zones, rather than having to declare the entire installation as contaminated

Is responsible for establishing a shelter plan and should designate unit responsibility for preparing and operating each shelter during an attack or event

The Installation Commander

Are structures that protect personnel from chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear effects over extended periods

Shelters

Are used in conjunction with protective shelter locations and other facilities, they provide protection from chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear agents using an overpressure system to keep threat agents outside of certain facilities, ultimately allowing the occupants to work or rest inside the facility without wearing protective gear

Collective Protection Systems

Are procedures that are not the same as those used for shelter-in-place

Active Shooter Lock-down

Prior to a chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear attack, every unit must determine

Which equipment and assets can be stored, protected, or covered to shield against contamination

Are critical, not only to ensure the Air Force mission is continued, but more importantly, for survival during and after a chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear attack

Crisis Response Actions

During attacks, the primary focus of the base populace should be directed toward

Force survivability to ensure attack warning signals and mission-oriented protective posture (MOPP) levels are rapidly disseminated

SALUTE reporting method

(S) Size The number of persons and vehicles seen or the size of an object (A) Activity Description of enemy activity (assaulting, fleeing, observing) (L) Location Where the enemy was sighted (grid coordinate or reference point) (U) Unit Distinctive signs, symbols, identification on people, vehicles, aircraft, or weapons (numbers, patches, clothing type) (T) Time Time activity was observed (E) Equipment Equipment and vehicles associated with the activity

Focus on saving lives, detecting and mitigating hazards, mission restoration, and sustainment

Recovery actions

Will determine when base specialized and unit reconnaissance teams begin post-attack chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear surveys

The Installation Commander

Will be directed to release post-attack reconnaissance teams to collect information about the effects of the attack

Unit Control Centers

Are responsible for reporting information to their unit control center as well as marking and reporting contamination and contaminated equipment to ensure approaching personnel are aware of the hazard associated with that resource

Post-attack reconnaissance teams or resource owners

Is the primary command and control function for collecting and consolidating post-attack information

The Emergency Operations Center

If exposed to nerve and blister agent in the eyes, the eyes should be

Irrigated with water

If a chemical agent gets on the skin or protective equipment

The protective equipment must be removed immediately

Are the most effective methods of removing chemical agents

The reactive skin decontamination lotion and M295

If personnel become contaminated with chemical, biological, or radiological agents, they decontaminate by processing through

The Contamination Control Area within 24 hours of contact.

The chemically contaminated object rule for MOPP reduction is

Applied by commanders for operations in and near areas with contaminated objects

Is a risk management philosophy designed to warn people of chemically contaminated objects

The Chemically Contaminated Object Rule

Is a decision-making process designed to systematically evaluate possible courses of action, identify risks and benefits, and determine the best course of action for any given situation

Risk management

One of the greatest influences of successful mission accomplishment, and a key aspect of risk management

Safety Training

Is used to evaluate each work task not governed by a technical order or other definitive guidance and when a new work task or process is introduced into the workplace

Job Safety Analysis

Risk Management Principles

- Accept No Unnecessary Risk - Make Risk Decisions at the Appropriate Level - Integrate Risk Management into Operations and Planning at All Levels - Apply the Risk Management Process Cyclically and Continuously

Risk Management Levels

- Deliberate Risk Management | - In-Depth Risk Management Planning

May involve the full, formal application of the complete five-step risk management process, ranging from thorough hazard identification, detailed data research, diagram and analysis tools, formal testing, and long-term tracking of the risks associated with an operation, activity, or system

Deliberate Risk Management

Is reserved for complex operations and systems, as well as high priority and high visibility situations or circumstances in which hazards are not well understood or easily predictable

In-Depth Risk Management Planning

Five-Step Risk Management Process

``` Step 1. Identify the Hazards Step 2. Assess the Hazards Step 3. Develop Controls and Make Decisions Step 4. Implement Controls Step 5. Supervise and Evaluate ```
