Emergency Response to Chemical and Biological Agents by John R. Cashman Pdf

With the increasing availability of biological and chemical materials, the threat of terrorism grows daily. Innocent bystanders -the major targets of terrorists because they gain the most publicity - create a vast number of potential victims. In our changing world, horrendous violence has become commonplace. The growth of incidences involving chemical and biological agents has created a need for local response teams to be aware of the dangers they face. Emergency Response to Chemical and Biological Agents serves as a training manual for emergency responders who handle incidents involving biological and chemical hazardous materials. The author covers poisons such as nerve, blood, blister, and choking gases and biological agents such as anthrax, typhus, and cholera. Using examples ripped from the headlines, he explains what is and is not a terrorist act, and the difference in handling each incident. In addition the author explains the standard operating procedures of Hazardous Materials Teams before, during, and after an incident. Whether terrorist act or chemical spill, local responders usually reach the scene first. As these incidents multiply - and they will - these teams will need a blueprint for dealing with chemical and biological materials. Emergency Response to Chemical and Biological Agents provides a clear, concise plan of action for responding to these incidents.

Biopreparedness and Public Health by Iris Hunger,Vladan Radosavljevic,Goran Belojevic,Lisa D. Rotz Pdf

The terrorist use of diseases as bioweapons has been one of the major security concerns in recent years, particularly after the anthrax letter attacks in the USA in 2001. This uncertain threat of intentional outbreaks of diseases exists side by side with the constantly changing very real threat from diseases, epidemics and pandemics as recently illustrated by the H1N1 influenza pandemic, SARS, and H5N1 bird influenza events. This publication contains case studies on the public health planning for (un)usual disease outbreaks for 11 large and small countries with a focus on South Eastern Europe. In many countries, military entities traditionally play an important role in emergency response to disease outbreaks. In smaller countries, very little exists, however, in terms of specific biopreparedness efforts (in both the military and civilian area), which is at least partly due to a relatively low bioterrorism threat perception, and serious resource constraints. The uncertainty associated with the bioterrorism threat makes public health preparedness planning for such events politically and financially very difficult. The similarity of responding to bioterrorism events and natural disease outbreaks from a public health point of view suggests the merit of looking at biopreparedness as a part of overall health emergency planning, not as a separate effort.

POLICE ANALYSIS AND PLANNING FOR CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL AND RADIOLOGICAL ATTACKS by John W. Ellis Pdf

This text is oriented toward planning police operations in the public sector, but will be usable by other public officials as well as some private sector police operations. It addresses police threat assessment of, vulnerability assessment to, defense against and response to attacks by special weapons of mass destruction in a civilian setting. These include chemical, biological and radiological attacks. It begins with a review of the policy and legal issues pertaining to special weapons and of the pertinent counter-terrorist response considerations discussed in the author's other book, POLICE ANALYSIS AND PLANNING FOR VEHICULAR BOMBINGS. It continues with assessment of the various types of special weapons of mass destruction and the terrorist's ability to make and use them, a historical review of significant incidents for each of the major subcategories of weapons, the limitations of police response operations in the United States, and defense response to this form of attack. It concludes with commentary on actions that may be needed if this threat continues to develop in the United States. Hopefully, this text will be of benefit to those officers and officials that have never had to confront this type of problem, and will help build the skill and psychological preparation for battle that prevents the attack and enables effective response.
