While this training emphasizes how to conduct a flood fight, it provides information to help communities decide if a flood fight is possible and worth the effort and cost. Diagrams with materials lists and equipment and labor requirements to construct various types of temporary flood protection can be used to help determine if there is enough time and resources to protect the community. If the whole community cannot be protected, then officials must decide where to concentrate their efforts to protect some areas and/or evacuate and relocate what they can. If a flood fight is undertaken, it should be done the right way or the effort will be wasted.

| Description |
Contact Hours: 24 |
Responders are given hands-on experience with radiation fields while learning the basic operation of radiation detectors and dosimeters. Attendees are taught to conduct radiological surveys of personnel, vehicles, facilities, and outdoor areas. Hands-on activities blend cognitive knowledge of radiation and instruments with survey techniques used in detecting the presence of radiation, locating radioactive material, and measuring levels of radiation and radiological contamination.
Attendees also learn to select personal protective equipment (PPE), perform radiological decontamination, conduct team operations at a radioactive hot zone, and perform lifesaving rescue operations in high radiation areas. After rescuing victims of an RDD attack, responders detect radioactive contamination in a subway car. The course culminates with an evaluation exercise requiring attendee teams, under a unified command, to respond to a scenario where a terrorist attack has dispersed radiological material at a facility or in a public transportation system.
Every participant will be issued a dosimeter and radiation survey meter; however it is recommended that A responder checks for safe radiation levels in a bus after however, a simulated RDD attack on a metropolitan bus station attendees bring their own department’s equipment if available. This is a “live agent” course using actual radioactive and nuclear materials. This course is designed and monitored so that attendees receive only minor radiation doses.
