Emergency Management Program Flashcards
Provides guidance to help commanders confront th all hazards approach to physical threats, and captures the complete incident rsponse cycle;
The Emergency Management Program
Uses the installation disaster response force as the structure for all responses; is based on the NIMS methodology and aligns AF EM planning and response with the NRF as directed by HSPD-5.
Air Force Incident Management System (AFIMS)
Commanders can achieve unity of effort, use resources effectively, and identify shortfalls using the
Air Force Incident Management System (AFIMS)
Provides the AF with an incident management system that is consistent with the single, comprehensive approach to domestic incident management.
Air Force Incident Management System (AFIMS)
Major accident response phases include
Prevention, preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation
Includes broad categories of activities such as intelligence collection and analysis….also includes more specific tasks such as safety mishap investigations that contribute info to prevent future mishaps
Prevention
Includes planning, AF EM program training, exercises and evaluations; also identifying augmentation manpower needs or reviewing expeditionary support plans (ESP)
Preparedness
Includes deploying the DRF, executing the Installation Emergency Management Plan (IEMP) 10-2, notification and warning
Response
Includes implementing casualty treatment, UXO safing, CCA processing, airfield damage repair, and restoration; Planning and actions begin as soon as possible to restore normal ops and sustainment
Recovery
Is an ongoing process and is considered part of every phase; includes all activities designed to reduce or eliminate risks to persons or property
Mitigation
Defines a major accident as an accident incolcing DoD materiel or activities that is serious enough to warrent response by the installation DRF
AFI 10-2501
Is responsible for responding to a major accident involving DoD resources or activities
the DOD
The base nearest the scene of a major accident is known as
The initial response base
The ___ will provide emergency response and recovery ops for the dispersal, protection, or sheltering of DOD personnel & resources during natural disasters
The installation Commander
A 3-5 min steady tone or voice announcement
Disaster Warning - affecting the base is imminent or in progress
A 3-5 min wavering tone or voice announcement
Attack Warning
Is the vehicle for installation preparation and response
IEMP 10-2
CBRN-capable nations, including developing nations, may use these weapons to achieve
political or military objectives
Achieves surprise and causes mass casualties that hinders operational momentum
Chemical Warfare
Can cause lethal, disabling, contagious, or noncontagious casualties
Biological threats
TIM/TIC
Toxic Industrial materials - Toxic industrial chemicals
Focus primarily on individual and weapon system survival
Attack response actions
Focus on saving lives, detecting and mitigating hazards, mission restoration, and sustainment
Recovery actions
The installations primary C2 nerve
Installation command and control (IC2)
The three phases of attack are
Attack preparation, attack response, and attack recovery
Alarm condition Yellow
Attack is probable in less than 30 min; MOPP 2; Protect and cover assets; seek overhead protection
Alarm condition Red
Wavering tone or bugle call; attack by air or ground in progress; seek immediate protection; MOPP 4; defend and report
Alarm condition Black
Steady tone; attack is over & CBRN and/or UXO are suspected or present; MOPP 4; SABC; remain in cover
Is when attack is imminent or in progress; actions occur immediately before and during an attack
Attack Response
5 MOPP levels
MOPP ready, 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4
MOPP 1
Wear the chemical protective overgarment (CPO), carry mask, boots, and gloves; use when attacks could occur with little or no warning
MOPP 2
Wear chemical protective overgarment (CPO) and boots, carry mask and gloves; use to provide additional protection when crossing or operating in previously contaminated areas; use when alarm yellow
MOPP 3
Wear CPO, boots, and mask. Carry gloves. Use when a negligible contact or percutaneous vapor hazard is present.
MOPP 4
Wear everything. use when attacks are imminent or in progress or when chemicals are suspected; use during Alarm Red
“Every Airman is a detector” philosophy for CBRNE reconnaissance
The EOC will disseminate the info to forces and report the status of resources to higher HQ
RSDL and M295 individual decontamination kits are the most effective methods of removing chemical agents from the skin
Reactive skin decontamination Lotion (RSDL)
When you dont have an individual decon kit what can you use
a 5 percent chlorine bleach solution will remove from equipment and a .5 percent for skin
Medical representatives issue nerve agent antidontes and pretreatment during increased readiness
P-tabs
CCA
Contamination Control Area
Provides personnel rest and relief, work relief, and protection of logistics storage areas
Collective protection
The major EM Program elements are
contamination avoidance, control, and protection
Includes actions taken to minimize the impact of CBRN contamination and effects of the hazard on operations
Contamination avoidance
Described as a combination of standard disease prevention measures and traditional CBRN contamination avoidance and decon measures
Contamination control
The best immediate protective equipment against chemical agents is the
Ground crew ensemble; a whole body system
Will minimize degradation and provide the most effective defense against CBRNE weapons
Physical protection measures and threat-based protective actions and procedures
SALUTE
Size, activity, location, unit, time, and equipment
According to JP 1-02, DoD dictionary of military and associated terms, terrorism is defined as
the calculated use of unlawful violence or threat of unlawful violence to inculcate fear, intended to coerce governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological
