"Terrorism: Biological Weapons" 28 minutes Video DVD + Guide Copyright 2007
“Terrorism: Biological Weapons” provides response guidelines for suspected biological
terrorism incidents. It is designed for firefighters, law enforcement, emergency management,
EMTs and other emergency personnel who may be called upon to respond to an act
of terrorism. This timely program examines possible targets and likely terrorist devices. It
covers hazmat response protocols, site control, protective clothing, and incident management.
The program focuses on three different scenarios:
(1) Intelligence agencies uncover the probability of a known threat and responders
are called out to support the operations of the agencies;
(2) A device is actually discovered, either prior to or following a release; and
(3) an attack goes unrecognized until a number of victims develop symptoms.
The four major categories of biological agents are examined, including symptoms of
exposure. The program tells how various agents may be disseminated and explains the
significance of the incubation period and determining the dispersal site. Responders
learn how to gather data in order to identify the agent involved, and information is provided
on resources available to help in this effort. Others topics covered are pre-incident planning
and dealing with the public in a way that prevents panic. 28 minutes.
Included with the program is a Leader’s Guide which will offer additional resources in
preparing a training program as well as discussion questions and ideas for classroom and
field exercises.
