Emergency Medical Preparedness for Radiological/Nuclear Incidents in the United States
For radiological/nuclear incidents, The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response in the Department of Health and Human Services developed and continue to refine detailed plans and tools for medical responders for a nuclear detonation and a radiological dispersal device, which also serve for any type of radiological/nuclear incident. The plans are based on the best available basic science with the goal of providing planners and responders with just-in-time information and tools.
