Weapons of Mass Destruction Standardized Awareness Course

Module 2 - Chemical Agents:
The second module provides an awareness-level understanding of chemical agents and Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TIC) that may be used as Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). At the conclusion of this second of five modules, individuals will be able to describe selected chemical agents (choking, blood, blister, and nerve) and recognize TIC terms; agent definitions; agent characteristics; and the physiological signs and symptoms of chemical exposure.
Thurs., February 10th, 4:00-5:00pm

Module 3 - Biological Agents:
The third module provides an awareness-level understanding of biological agents. The module addresses the types of biological agents; general signs and symptoms to recognize exposure; and the physical characteristics of biological agents. At the conclusion of the third of the five modules, the student will be able to describe biological agents; the signs and symptoms of exposure; and any physical characteristics of biological agents. Tues., February 15th, 5:00-6:00pm

Module 4- Radiological Materials and Nuclear Weapons:
The fourth module provides the basic concepts of radiation. At an awareness- level, the module addresses and defines ionizing radiation; shielding materials for each type of radiation; effects of radiation on people; and types of possible terrorist radiological/nuclear weapons. At the conclusion of the fourth of five modules, students will describe the awareness-level characteristics of radiation and radiological materials; identify the physiological signs and symptoms of exposure; identify radiation exposure devices and radiological dispersal devices; distinguish between a nuclear weapon detonation and a conventional explosion; and finally, define the terms associated with radiation such as external exposure, external contamination, internal exposure, and internal contamination.

Keeper of the Flame
This program from the U.S. Forest Service begins with the Yellowstone National Park fires in 1988 that destroyed 1.5 million acres of forest land. These fires not only changed the perception that fires are always bad, but made them wonder if fires can also be beneficial to our forests. These fires influenced how people thought about fires and how fire ecology, the FIREWISE concept and Wildland Urban Interface all play a part in the big picture of land management today.
