Responding to Radiological Emergencies: Considerations for the Health Physicist
12:30 pm - 2:30 pm, Orlando, FL local time (Eastern Time)
Presenter Names
P. Andrew Karam, PhD, CHP, Physicist, Department of Homeland Security
Course Description
Radiation safety professionals are likely to be involved in any response to a radiological incident. Most radiation safety professionals, however, have little or no experience with emergency response or working with emergency responders, and they may be unaware of some of the tools developed to assist with radiological emergency response. This means that many of the people with the greatest amount of knowledge are likely to be less effective than we would like. The aim of this talk is to help Health Physicists to have a better understanding of some of the issues they might face and the emergency responders with whom they will be working in the event of a radiological or nuclear emergency.
