Slide 4 of 8
Notes:
f. Crime scene/evidence preservation
(1) An everyday HAZMAT incident may be labeled an environmental crime scene.
(2) An act of NBC terrorism is a federal crime, therefore, the site of the incident mandates a crime scene designation and evidence preservation. These are key actions to be able to apprehend and prosecute the perpetrator(s).
g. Major interaction and coordination with local, state and federal agencies
(1) May be required in an everyday HAZMAT incident, but most definitely will be required during an NBC terrorism incident due to the complexity of the situation and the public interest.
(2) An NBC terrorism incident will require the Incident Commander to effectively use the Incident Command System and to assign areas of responsibility to other responding personnel.
(3) In a NBC terrorism incident the Incident Commander will be faced with managing and coordinating multiple agencies - some requested, some not.
