Hazmat 5 Flashcards
(****) is the first step in the Eight step process.
Site management
The major emphasis of site management is establishing control of the incident scene by assuming command of the incident an isolating people from the problem by establishing an (**) and (*****)
isolation perimeter
Hazard control zones
The MINS defines (*****) as the location where the resources can be placed while awaiting a tactical assignment.
staging
The (****) is responsible for the management of the staging area.
opreations section
The first arriving unit responds to the incident scene, while all other units are ordered to stage at a safe location close to, but away from the scene, from where they can be deployed in a safe timely, and effective manner. (***)
Level 1 staging
As an incident grows or escalates, the IC designates a fixed location where resources responding beyond the initial response can be placed until they are given a tactical assignment.
Level 2 staging
The designated crowd control line surrounding the Hazard control Zones.
Isolation Perimeter
The isolation perimeter is always the line between the general public and the (****)
Cold zone
Designation of area at a hazardous materials incident based on safety and the degree of hazard. These zones are defined as the (), () and (**) zones and located inside the isolation perimeter.
Hazard control zones
hot warm cold
(****) The control zone at a hazardous material incident that extends far enough to prevent adverse effects from hazardous materials releases to personnel outside the zone
Hot Zone
(*****) The control zone at a hazardous materials incident site where personnel and equipment DECON and HOT zone support takes place.
Warm zone
(****) The areas at hazardous material incident that contains the incident command post and other support functions necessary to control the incident.
cold zone
(*****) A holding area within the HOT zone where personnel are controlled until they can be safely decontaminated, treated, or removed
Area or Refuge
(****) The strategy used by the IC to protect the general population from the hazardous material by implementing a strategy of either 1 protect in place 2. evacuation 3. a combo of protect in place and evacuation.
Public Protective Actions
(***) Directing people to go inside a building, seal it up as effectively as possible, and remain inside the building until the danger has passed.
Protect in place (shelter in place)
(***) The controlled relocation of people from an area of danger to a safer area or one in which the risk is considered to be acceptable.
Evacuation
(**) is the highest strategic priority.
life safety
An experienced commander only gives up the advantage of a stationary command post when it is absolutely necessary for the IC to personally provide (****) to responders operating in forward positions.
one on one direction
(*****) of Hazardous Materials Response Teams is an effective way to ensure the mutual aid hazmat capability you need is what shows up at the scene.
Resource typing
The DOT (**) can serve as a good reference to establish initial evacuation zones.
Emergency Response Guide
The (*****) account for all incoming emergency response units, assigns resources from the staging area to their tactical assignment at the request of the IC, and request additional emergency resources as necessary.
Staging Area Manager STAM
Normally staging as part of initial response operations places when a units stop short of the scene (approximately (****) typical block in their direction of travel)…

When confronted with an incident inside of a structure, the best place to begin controlling people is at (*****)
points of entry
(**) are designated areas at a hazardous materials incident based on safety and degree of hazard.
Hazard control zones
As a general rule the news media should be located outside of the (***)
isolation perimeter
The ICP and support personnel should be located in the (*****).
Cold Zone
Emergency responders supporting the tactical hazmat response should be position within the () and (*).
cold zone
warm zone
The entry teams should be located in the (*****).
hot zones
Emergency responders can be challenged by scenarios where civilians and the public are exposed to a hazmat prior to their arrival. In this scenario, an (***) should be established within the Hot zone to control any exposed personnel until they can be safely managed.
Area of refuge
When a hazard is inside a building, the zones can be denoted by their location within the structure. For example a spill in room 321 may dictate that rooms 320 to 322 would be the (**), the rest of the building would be the (), and the outside of the building itself would be designated the (**).
hot zone
warm zone
cold zone
As a guideline any area with a measurable concentration of contaminant using available monitoring should initially be considered within the (*****) until additional data are obtained and evaluated.
