Improvised Nuclear Device Response and Recovery by United States. Federal Emergency Management Agency PDF Summary

Book Description: A nuclear detonation in the United States is one of the most catastrophic incidents imaginable. While the United States Government is working domestically and with international partners to ensure this scenario never occurs, failing to plan for managing the consequences of such an event would be irresponsible. Should a nuclear detonation occur, a crucial task for Federal, State, local, tribal and territorial authorities and private-sector organizations will be communicating clear and consistent messages to the public. All levels of government have responsibility for coordinating and communicating information regarding the incident to the public immediately after a nuclear detonation. State, local and tribal authorities retain the primary responsibility for responding to large-scale incidents, such as a nuclear detonation. Effectively communicating health and safety instructions to the population will be a critical factor in building trust, comforting the nation, saving lives and minimizing injury. This document was developed as a resource for emergency responders and federal, state, and local officials communicating with the public and the media during the immediate aftermath of a nuclear detonation in the United States. An interagency group of communications and radiation technical experts developed the messages in this document, which include key messages for the impacted community and the nation, and anticipated questions and answers for distribution to the public in the immediate aftermath of a nuclear detonation. Since the 2010 interim use version of the document, the message content was reviewed by state and local responders and tested for comprehension through a series of public focus groups. The document was also reviewed by the Advisory Team for Environment, Food and Health, which is a radiological emergency response group tasked with providing protective action recommendations to state and local governments on behalf of its member agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). FEMA's Federal, State and local Nuclear/Radiological Communications Working Group also participated in the review and update of this document. The final document takes into account all of the feedback received during these reviews. Ideally, there will never be a need for these messages; however officials at all levels of government have a responsibility to the American people to be prepared to respond and communicate effectively in the event of any type of national emergency, including a nuclear detonation.
