chapter-5 Flashcards
Air Force members must understand how the AirForce Emergency Management (AFEM) Program dealswith what four events? (103)
I) Major accidents; 2) terrorist use of Chemical, Biological,Radiological, Nuclear, and High-Yield Explosive (CBRNE)material; 3) CBRNE enemy attack; and 4) natural disasters.
The Air Force Emergency Management (AFEM)Program describes the Air Force’s approach to planning,organizing, training and equipping personnel, and protectingmission-critical infrastructures. How does it helpcommanders? (103)
It I) provides guidance to help develop an all-hazards approachto physical threats; and 2) captures the complete incidentresponse cycle from planning to response and recovery.
The Air Force Incident Management System(AFIMS) uses the installation Disaster Response Force(DRF) structure for all emergency responses. What doesit consist of? (103)
The crisis action team, Command Post (CP), EmergencyCommunications Center (ECC), Emergency Operations Center(EOC), Incident Commander (IC), first responders, emergencyresponders, Unit Control Centers (UCC), and specializedteams.
How does the Air Force Incident Management System(AFIMS) planning process help commanders? (103)
It enables them to achieve unity of effort, effectively useresources and identify shortfalls.
The Air Force Incident Management System(AFIMS) aligns Emergency Management (EM) planningand response with Homeland Security Presidential Directive5 (HSPD-5), Management of Domestic Incidents;the National Incident Management system (NIMS); andthe __ . (103)
National Response Framework (NRF).
The Air Force Incident Management System (AFIMS) provides fixed response options to organizefield-level operations for a broad spectrum of emergencies.T/F (103)
False. (Response options are scalable and flexible.)
The Air Force Incident Management System(AFIMS) provides a single, comprehensive approach tomanaging domestic incidents. It incorporates nationallevel and __ guidance while preserving the uniquemilitary requirements of the expeditionary Air Force.(103)
Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD).
The Air Force Incident Management System(AFIMS) includes a set of concepts and principles. Whatsix areas does it cover? (103)
1) The Incident Command System; 2) Disaster ResponseForce (DRF); 3) common terminology; 4) common technologies;5) training; and 6) resource management.
What are the five phases of incident management?(103)
I) Prevention; 2) preparedness; 3) response; 4) recovery; and5) mitigation.
What is provided by the Air Force Incident ManagementSystem’s (AFIMS) phases of incident management?(103)
The framework for the installation Disaster Response Force(DRF) to respond to Emergency Management (EM) incidentsand events.
The Air Force Incident Management System(AFIMS) conducts intelligence collection and analysis,active defense and safety mishap investigations in the__ phase of incident management. (104)
Prevention. (Other activities include proliferation, fire, diseaseand contamination prevention.)
What actions are included in the preparedness phaseof incident management? (104)
1) Planning; 2) training, exercises and evaluations; 3) identifyingaugmented manpower needs; and 4) reviewing ExpeditionarySupport Plans (ESP).
The __ phase of incident management includesdeploying the Disaster Response Force (DRF), executingthe Installation Emergency Management Plan (IEMP)10-2, and activating the installation notification andwarning system. (104)
Response.
The recovery phase of incident management includes,as a minimum, casualty treatment, UnexplodedOrdnance (UXO) sating, personnel decontamination,airfield damage repair and facility restoration. When dothese actions begin? (104)
As soon as possible (to sustain crucial missions and restorenormal operations).
The mitigation phase of incident management occursonly after all other phases are implemented. T/F (104)
False. (It is an ongoing process to reduce or eliminate risk orlessen the effects of an incident and is part of every phase.)
What incidents are categorized as major accidents?(104)
Incidents involving hazardous material, aircraft, ammunition,explosives, transportation, facility emergencies and industrialaccidents.
AFI __ defines a major accident as one involvingDoD materiel or DoD activities, and warranting responseby the installation Disaster Response Force (DRF). (104)
AFI 10-2501, Air Force Emergency Management (EM) ProgramPlanning and Operations.
A major accident involves one or more of what sixfactors? (104)
I) Hazardous substances such as radioactive materials, ToxicIndustrial Chemicals and Materials (TIC/TIM) and Chemical,Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and High-Yield Explosive(CBRNE) weapons; 2) explosives; 3) Class A mishaps;4) extensive property damage; 5) grave risk of injury ordeath to installation personnel or the public; and/or 6) adversepublic reaction.
Which military operation will respond to a majoraccident, unless otherwise directed by the MAJCOM orthe Air Force Operations Center? (104)
The military installation nearest to the scene (regardless ofsize), known as the initial-response base.
After alerting others in the immediate area and reportinga major accident, what should witnesses to anaccident do? (104)
I) Stay uphill and upwind; 2) avoid inhaling fumes, smokeor vapors; 3) attempt to rescue and care for casualties; 4)avoid handling any material or component involved in the accident; and 5) evacuate the area ifrescue or containment isimpractical, or if directed to evacuate.
What must installations be prepared to do duringnatural disasters or severe weather? (105)
Adequately warn and notify personnel, as well as implementprotective measures and recovery operations.
In what ways do emergency conditions created bynatural disasters and severe weather vary widely? (105)
In scope, urgency and extent of damage.
The installation commander will provide emergencyresponse and recovery operations during natural disasters.Give some examples of natural disasters. (105)
Severe weather events (tornadoes, floods, storms, etc.), tsunamis,earthquakes, fires, volcanoes and disease outbreaks.
What actions should you take when a natural disasteror an incident affecting the base is imminent or inprogress? (105)
Listen for a 3- to 5-minute steady or wavering siren, keep theradio or television on and listen for instructions from localauthorities and weather updates, and use the telephone onlyfor emergencies.
