SUMMARY:Climate Change and Toxic Hazards: After the Storm DESCRIPTION:On behalf of the Boston University Superfund Research Program (BU SRP)\, we would like to make you aware of a webinar on Thursday\, March 28th\, at 1PM EST that is different from typical webinars on storm preparation and clean up: \nClimate Change and Toxic Hazards: After the Storm: \nhttps://www.healthandenvironment.org/webinars/96478 \nThis is the final webinar in a 3-part series on climate change\, toxic hazards\, and how to prepare to protect public health before\, during\, and after a superstorm or flood. Speakers in this webinar will address the range of issues communities face after a storm with a focus on preventing exposures to toxic substances that have been unleashed by the flood into the air water and soil. What’s the best cleanup process after a major storm or flooding event? What’s the best way to protect people during that process? How do people deal with home and business contamination? What are the roles of individuals\, agencies\, businesses\, governments? How do we deal with aging infrastructure? If there are existing hazardous waste sites in the region\, how can they be contained in the aftermath? This webinar will feature Dr. Tom Estabrook\, Project Director of The New England Consortium\, an NIEHS-funded worker health and safety training project based at University of Massachusetts Lowell\, and Richard Rabin\, a volunteer with MassCOSH (Massachusetts Coalition for Occupational Safety and Health) for over 30 years and former director of the Occupational Lead Poisoning Registry at the Massachusetts Department of Labor for over 20 years. \nWe hope you will join us on the 28th. \nRSVP: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8Evqrv-kR520Ux9aAuzf4w URL:https://region2.avatar-development.com/event/climate-change-and-toxic-hazards-after-the-storm-2/ CATEGORIES:Member,PHEP,Public Event END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190328T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190328T150000 DTSTAMP:20260609T133248 CREATED:20190326T164310Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190326T164310Z UID:10000318-1553778000-1553785200@region2.avatar-development.com SUMMARY:Climate Change and Toxic Hazards: After the Storm DESCRIPTION:On behalf of the Boston University Superfund Research Program (BU SRP)\, we would like to make you aware of a webinar on Thursday\, March 28th\, at 1PM EST that is different from typical webinars on storm preparation and clean up: \nClimate Change and Toxic Hazards: After the Storm:\nhttps://www.healthandenvironment.org/webinars/96478 \nThis is the final webinar in a 3-part series on climate change\, toxic hazards\, and how to prepare to protect public health before\, during\, and after a superstorm or flood.

Will you be ready? Will you need a special level of protection? Is decontamination necessary? Do you have the right medications?\nPER 211\, Medical Management of Chemical\, Biological\, Radiological\, Nuclear and Explosives\, (CBRNE) Events answers these questions and more as you learn how to distinguish between different agents of concern that could be used in a major incident.\nThis course is a combination of facilitated discussions\, small-group exercises\, Human Patient Simulator hands-on scenarios\, and traditional classroom discussions. Exercises are conducted in a CBRNE scenario using both adult and pediatric Human Patient Simulators to reinforce classroom lectures and interaction.\nThis course promotes critical thinking skills while utilizing the RAPID-Care concept. The multi-discipline make-up of the participants helps to strengthen information sharing\, communications\, and medical surge capabilities.\nTopics Include:\n• Environmental factors and protective issues for both first responders and the public\n• Planning for potential consequences of a CBRNE incident\n• Recognizing and identifying CBRNE agents and their physiological effects on the human body\n• Appropriate self-protection measures and measures necessary to limit patient cross-contamination\n• Assessment of adult and pediatric patients\n• Basic decontamination considerations\n• Appropriate triage methods during a CBRNE or terrorist incident\n• Response to an incident involving CBRNE\n• RAPID-Care concepts \nRecommendations: Basic EMS Concepts for CBRNE Events (AWR-111-W) & WMD/Terrorism Awareness for Emergency Responders (AWR-160-W)\nTo ensure adequate participation of the target audience\, all registrants will be placed on the waiting list pending approval.
