Abstract

In addition to a protocol for everyday hazardous materials incidents, you need one for weapons of mass destruction, which include nuclear, chemical, or biologic agents. Direct minimally injured patients to a holding area. Have a plan for decontaminating hundreds or perhaps thousands of people. Have reference tables that list agents, symptoms, and the antidotes and decontamination supplies or various exposures.
