Radiation Preparedness Regional Partnerships National Alliance for Radiation Readiness William F. Stephens MS, Manager - Tarrant County Advanced Practice Center Ft. Worth, TX

Why are regional partnerships important for radiological-nuclear disasters?

Diversity of Threats Loss/misuse of radiation sources: –Medical –Geophysical Accident in radiation industry: –Power plants –Food processing –Inspection/testing sources –Transportation Terrorism threat: –Radiological dispersal device (RDD) –Improvised nuclear device (IND) –Other intentional radiation exposure or contamination, even in outlying or rural areas

Expanded Resource Base All-hazards response quickly overwhelms local response staff – mutual aid agreements; ICS, unified command, NIMS Presence of radiation threats introduces new, often unfamiliar complexity Radiation response equipment

Expanded Skills and Expertise Healthcare –Health physicists –Radiation medical professionals –Mental health professionals Public health –Epidemiologists –Population screening, monitoring and tracking –Long-term health assessment –Risk communication EMS, hazmat, mass fatality, law enforcement

Examples of regional partners for radiological response Dirty Bomb Exercise, Texas Motor Speedway –30+ agencies, 5 jurisdictions, 30 hospitals, over 300 responders, 2500 victims, State and Federal partners (EM, Bureau of Radiation Control, CDC, FBI/JTTF)

More regional partners for radiological response Medical and mass care response –UT Southwestern National Disaster Life Support Foundation ( Controller/evaluators for exercise Training/development for first receivers

Multi-jurisdiction regional partnerships North Texas Radiation Response Group –Formed in 2010 –Primary purpose to coordinate planning, training and equipment sharing for a radiation MCI –Over 60 members representing 45 agencies and jurisdictions across the DFW 16 county area.

The North Texas Metropolitan Area As Seen from the International Space Station 6.5+ Million 14,628 sq.mi 12+ Counties $341+ Billion (2010)
