Emergency Treatment Resources
Need a quick resource to support a medical response to a radiological/nuclear event? REAC/TS offers a collection of emergency resources to assist medical professionals in the treatment of individuals injured by ionizing radiation.
These resources are helpful in documenting patient injuries, determining steps for initial and secondary triage, outlining correct procedures for donning and doffing personal protective equipment, and other forms to assist in recording information necessary to appropriately care for patients.
Translated materials are also available in Ukrainian, Spanish, and Turkish.

You can also watch the entire series in approximately 30 minutes, providing valuable information in a short timeframe.
