Hazmat Disaster Preparedness Training Program (HDPTP)

为了更好地保护（或准备）灾难性灾害，必须在全国范围内确定可能高度脆弱的关键部门，可能的目标或如果受损会产生灾难性后果，然后采取合理的步骤为可能的结果做好准备。在任何事件发生之前，都需要充分开发资源，并与国家事故管理系统协调，以便有效和安全地 回答。该提案集中在三个方面：1）保护医院的第一接收者，他们将处理受污染的灾难受害者; 2）为工人，培训师，消防员和FEMA举办Plume软件课程; 3）进一步发展培训师，以提供灾难现场工人，大规模伤亡第一接收者和工作场所庇护所计划;以及3）建立联合赠款项目。 2005年，化学品安全委员会工作人员在一篇关于博帕尔灾难的文章中指出，系统性问题之一是“无效的工人培训”，这仍然是“许多事故的根源”（3）。国际行为或自然灾害都有类似的解决办法来处理这两种情况。其他系统性问题是“缺乏对反应性危害的认识，缺乏对变化的管理，维护不足，应急准备不力，缺乏对事件根本原因的调查和经验教训的交流”。2006年对化工厂的一项调查记录了缺乏足够的培训、程序、应对演习和卫生人员对恐怖事件的通知（9）。这项建议提供了一些领域的培训，以满足这些需要。

In order to better protect (or prepare) for a catastrophic disaster, key sectors must be identified across the nation that may be highly vulnerable, likely targets or produce catastrophic results if damaged, and then reasonable steps taken to prepare for possible outcomes. Resources need to be developed well before any event and coordinated with the National Incident Management System in order to effecfively and safely respond. This proposal concentrates in three areas: 1) protecting hospital based First Receivers who would handle contaminated victims of disasters; 2) conduct Plume Software classes to workers, trainers, firefighters and FEMA; 3) further develop trainers to deliver Disaster Site Worker, Mass Casualty First Receiver and Workplace Shelter in Place programs; and 3) building joint grantee projects. A 2005 article by Chemical Safety Board staff on the Bhopal disaster identifies one of the systemic problems as "ineffecfive worker training' which remain "underiying causes of many incidents" (3). Both intenfional acts or natural disasters have similar solutions to address both situations. Other systemic problems are "lack of awareness of reacfive hazards, lack of management of change, inadequate maintenance, ineffective emergency preparedness and lack of root cause incident investigations and communication of lessons learned". A 2006 survey of chemical plants documented the lack of adequate training, procedures, response drills and notificafion of health personnel for terrorist incidents (9). This proposal offers training in a number of areas which addresses these needs.
