Amateur Radio Ham Radio involvement with Radiological Decontamination Drill Exercises
I present this as a learning tool and what I have found intresting in a learning aid for Decontamination Drill Exercises. I have been invloved with a New York State Amateur Radio Club that helps out with Amateur Radio for Radiological Decontamination Drill Exercises. That gets Evaluated by Entergy and The New York State Emergency Management Office (SEMO) as well as FEMA. The learning aid tool that I have found is a Emergency Training Dirty Bomb! After the Blast (Online Simulation) Which I have found this to be a excellent tool as we set up a Decontamination center like the one in this Online Simulation at a local school as part of our training.,We also do Field Team Monitoring. As Field Team Monitoring goes out with the following equipment., Eberline RO-20 ionization chamber OR Eberline RO-20A ionization chamber, Eberline RM-14 Count Rate Meter, and Radeco H-809C Air Sampler, and simulate wearing Anti-Contamination clothing. where able to see and track the locations of our teams with APRS Automatic Packet Reporting System at our EOC emergency operations center. We also have our Radiological Emergency Responce Plan for our area.
Here are two pictures of what this Online Simulation and information about this free online course which anyone can take. There are three missions of this.,
Mission 1: Dirty Bomb Decontamination
Mission 2: Mass Fatalities Operational Sites
Mission 3: Community Assistance Center
The above is from this website From University of Minnesota Public Health Emergency Training
Below are three pages from my blog showing some of the stuff our Amateur Radio team does or uses.,
