Shelter-In-Place Video
Every
year hazardous emergencies take their toll in dollars
and human lives. While some losses are unavoidable, adding
shelter-in-place to emergency plans can help businesses
cope with a fast-moving toxic cloud when there isn’t
time to evacuate.
No
one can predict the exact conditions or who will be around
– at the time of a hazardous chemical release. This
training is to help facility managers, safety officers,
and others who manage emergencies, understand how
sheltering works, identify areas in buildings for sheltering
occupants, and develop shelter-in-place plans for short-term
chemical vapor releases.
The
training has been developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory
(ORNL) for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
and the United States Army's Soldier and Biological
Chemical Command (SBCCOM). It is currently available in
VHS (DVD version in press.) |
