Q

The decision to shelter in place is appropriate when

A

The hazardous material will not affect the structure and it’s occupants
Or the hazard will pass a structure with little infiltration

25
Q

The causality collection point is established where

A

In the support zone for medical branch personnel to triage and treat decontaminated victims

26
Q

The initial staging area if possible

A

Upwind and uphill

27
Q

Command post should be located

A

Upwind and uphill
IC notify all units on scene and goose responding of its location
Should be transmitted via dispatcher for other agencies

28
Q

If during responding to a call it becomes evident that the incident is a hazardous material response than standard operating procedures must be adjusted .. The top priority now becomes

A

Attempt to ID the material and it’s hazard becomes top priority

29
Q

Rescue companies at haz mat incidents

A

Tech 2
Cpc
All monitoring devices
No mitigation equipment

Members of rescue can be used for assessment not search and rescue and can assist in entry metering and mitigation

30
Q

Shelter in place is the preferred alternative when

A

Per planning has id options for problems area such as hospitals jails nursing homes and public assemblies
Evacuation cannot be properly managed with manpower , resources and facilities presently available
The hazardous material displays the following characteristics :

2. Totally released and dissipated
3. Small quantity solid or liquid leak
4. A migrating vapor of low toxicity and quantity and people safer indoors than outdoors
5. Release can be rapidly controlled

31
Q

Rescue Risk VS benefit

A

If initial units determine there is a known life hazard prior to arrival of hazmat resources with CPC a risk analysis should be performed to determine weather they should perform a rescue
Initial rescue should concentrate on removing able bodied (ambulatory ) victims persons fro immediate danger . Involvement In complicated rescues should be carefully evaluated
When probability is high that victim is not viable rescue or recovery should not be attempted if it will place rescuer at unnecessary risk

32
Q

Simple Triage and Rapid TREATMENT (START) is performed by responders to quickly evaluate patients respirations circulation and central nervous system status and triage them quickly and efficiently .. A black tag means ?

A

Deceased : patient have no ventilations present after one attempt is made to reposition the airway

33
Q

When using START Red tag means ?

A

Immediate : patients have ventilations present after repositioning the airway . Have a respiratory rate greater than 30 breaths per min . Have an absent radial pulse or unable to follow simple command

34
Q

If using START a person who is yellow tagged is

A 
DELAYED ... Patients have :
Respiratory less than 30 breaths per min
Radial pulse present 
Able to follow simple commands 
Patient has injury that does not got into either the immediate or minor categories
35
