ERP Flashcards
Post detonation in the point of impact, which victims should be tagged with triage tags?
Only deceased (black tag) victims
First Arriving Engine to IED incident
1) consider giving 10-60 with appropriate code
2) stretch precautionary 2 1/2 and put out fires that are threatening victims
3) if truck not on scene determine # of victims, initial ICP location, initial triage transfer point and preferred rescue corridor route
4) if no threat of fire, remove skeds and cfr equipment and begin rapid assessment
5) remove critical victims to triage transfer point

Initial exclusion zone for a biological release
300ft
For a biological release indoors, seal off the area and do not enter for
30minutes to 1 hour
When should the SCBA be removed during the second process
Last
4 ways of being exposed to radiation
Inhalation
Ingestion
Absorption
Penetration/injection
What is the difference in radiation dose vs rate
Dose is like odometer, total amount measured in rem, millirem or microrem
Rate is like speedometer, total amount per hour measured in rem/per hour etc
Acceptable radiation dose level at general ops
5 rem
Radiation dose level limit for firefighting, protection of major property and evacuation of special groups (non ambulatory, prisoners, hospitals)
10 rem
Radiation dose limit for life safety and protection of large populations
25 rem
Dose limit for lifesaving at catastrophic event
50rem
Typical background reading on rad50?
Rad50 action level?
Hotline level?
0.02 to 0.05 mR/ hr
1 mR/hr
2mR/hr
Radiation meter readings above background from legit source that has not been released from container is a ______________
Radiological incident (readings must be confirmed with second meter, transmit 10-80 no code or code 1, don dose meter, don ppe if necessary, special call hazmat 1 if levels too high for rad 50)
Max level that rad50 can detect
50mR/hr
Radiological readings above background from a source that’s out of its container whether accidental or intentional is a _______________
Radiological emergency (Must be confirmed with 2nd meter, transmit appropriate 10-80and specify for a radiological emergency, use full respiratory protection, bring an apr and adapter, zero out and don dosimeter)
Max readings on the Ludlum
100 Rem/hr
Max readings on the Canberra
999 Rem/hr
How long should units wait to enter the area of an improvised nuclear device ?
15 minutes
At a radiological event how often should members be rotated?
At dose levels of 5 Rem or when 1 scba is depleted. Notify ops chief of location, activity being performed and radiation dose and rate every 5 Rem
