21st Century Essential NBC Reference Series Bioterrorism Guides and Handbooks including FBI and Justice Department Investigation Handbook - Bioterrorism, ... Destruction WMD, First Responder Ringbound
Author: Department of Defense

This is an up-to-date compendium of four U.S. Army Soldier and Biological Chemical Command (SBCCOM) publications relating to biological weapons terrorism. A well-executed, covert biological terrorism attack could produce large numbers of casualties, overwhelm a community’s or state’s emergency resources, and present a catastrophic public he... more »alth and medical emergency. Public Law 104-201 - The Defense Against Weapons of Mass Destruction Act of 1996 (also known as the Nunn-Lugar-Domenici Domestic Preparedness Act) provided the nation’s first responders with training, equipment and exercises regarding emergency response to weapons of mass destruction (WMD). The Secretary of Defense was mandated to develop and carry out a program to improve the responses of federal, state, and local agencies to emergencies involving biological and chemical weapons. One product of this initiative is the Biological Warfare Improved Response Program (BWIRP), developed under the auspices of the U.S. Army Soldier and Biological Chemical Command (SBCCOM). SBCCOM led a multi-agency task force that formulated an integrated emergency response approach to a terrorist’s use of a biological weapon (BW). Documents in this compendium: CRIMINAL AND EPIDEMIOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION HANDBOOK - This joint publication of the DoD, FBI, and Justice Dept. provides an introduction to epidemiological and criminal terrorist investigations and identifies potential conflicts law enforcement and public health personnel will encounter during their respective biological incident investigations and to provide potential solutions. Contents include: Potential Barriers; Responding to a Biological Attack; PUBLIC HEALTH - Public Health Investigation Goals, Public Health Epidemiological Investigations; LAW ENFORCEMENT, Law Enforcement Investigation Goals, Law Enforcement Criminal Investigations, JOINT OPERATIONS, Joint Investigative Information, Effective Information Exchange, Sharing Sensitive Information, Decision Trees, Statutes and Directives, Acronyms, Glossary. COMPARISON OF DECONTAMINATION TECHNOLOGIES FOR BIOLOGICAL AGENTS ON SELECTED COMMERCIAL SURFACES (including painted wallboard, carpet, cement, fabric, metal) MASS CASUALTY TERRORISM HEALTHCARE - COMMUNITY OUTREACH, MASS PROPHYLAXIS, IMPROVING LOCAL AND STATE AGENCY RESPONSE TO BIOLOGICAL TERRORISM - In order to manage this potentially huge casualty load that would result from a covert bioterrorist attack, the BWIRP team developed the Modular Emergency Medical System (MEMS) concept. The MEMS addresses the gap in casualty care resources that would exist in most medical care jurisdictions today if a large number of BW victims were to seek treatment from neighborhood area hospitals. The MEMS is based on the rapid organization of two types of expandable patient care modules, the Neighborhood Emergency Help Center (NEHC) and the Acute Care Center (ACC). The MEMS concept also includes a Medical Command and Control (MCC) element, Casualty Transportation System (CTS), Community Outreach, Mass Prophylaxis, and Public Information components. This serves to introduce key characteristics of the MEMS concept and modules and presents an overview of the MEMS as one possible approach to use in planning a response to biological terrorism. The MEMS is a highly adaptable planning guide that provides options and points of consideration that can be integrated in or tailored to any existing emergency plan to suit specific jurisdictional requirements.
