Operations Level Responders. A person in which responds to hazardous materials/weapons of mass destruction incidents for the purpose of implementing or supporting actions to protect nearby persons, the environment, or property from effects of releases. Operation Level Responders - are NOT normally used in offensive tactics

A Hazardous Materials/WMD incident to determine the scope and potential outcomes by surveying, collecting information, predicting the likely behavior, and estimating potential harm.

Initial response within the capabilities of available personnel by describing the response objectives, response options, emergency decontamination procedures, Approving proper personal protective equipment (PPE) developing a plan of action including safety considerations

The Planed response to favorably change the outcomes by establishing scene control, preservation of evidence, initating an, incident command system (ICS). Performing Tasks identified in the incident action plan. Demonstrating emergency decontamination.
