Crisis Assistance
If you need assistance with the medical management of those involved in a radiological/nuclear incident, access to decorporation agents or guidance on their use, contact REAC/TS.
Medical personnel caring for individual patients (not involved in a mass casualty incident) with exposures in excess of 200 Rad (2 Gy) or with cytopenia should call REAC/TS. Mass casualty incident treatment guidance will be coordinated through local health care coalitions or the state.
