Zoned Approach
Bridging the Gaps: Public Health and Radiation Emergency PreparednessPlanning Guidance and Infrastructure Effects 8
Light Damage (LD) Zone:Windows broken, mostly minor
injuries that are highly survivableeven without immediate medicalcare.
Moderate Damage (MD) Zone:Significant building damage and
rubble, downed utility poles,overturned automobiles, fires,many serious injuries. Earlymedical assistance cansignificantly improve number ofsurvivors.
Severe Damage Zone: Mostbuildings destroyed, hazards andradiation initially prevents entryinto the area, low survivorlikelihood

Key Points to Zoned Approach
1. Save lives AND manage risks to responders.
2. Plan response from the outside in.
3. Train responders in basic radiation safety & measurement.
4. Focus early lifesaving actions in the moderate damage (MD)zone.
5. Within LD zone, initially focus on severe injuries only.
6. Within MD zone, response operations have many hazards.
7. Early medical response activities should focus on medicaltriage with full consideration of radiation dose minimization.
8. Response within the severe damage SD zone should not beattempted until radiation dose rates have dropped.
9. Response activities should be guided by lethal radiationhazards within the DF zone.
10. The most important mission in the DF zone is communicatingprotective action orders to the public..

Key points to Zoned Approach(cont)
11. Urban search and rescue will be most effective in the MD
zone, in non-radiologically contaminated areas.
12. Decontamination efforts should be limited to those locationsthat are absolutely necessary to use or occupy to enable lifesaving, including emergency infrastructure and infrastructurethat might facilitate life saving (e.g., emergency gas line
shutdown).13. Decontamination of critical infrastructure should be initiated
only when basic information becomes available regardingfallout distribution, current and projected radiation dose rates,and structural integrity of the elements to be decontaminated.
14. Standard health physics instruments and alternative radiation
detection systems can be used to enhance detectioncapabilities.
15. All radiation detection systems should be used within theirfunctional limits and design specifications.

Dangerous Fallout
Bridging the Gaps: Public Health and Radiation Emergency PreparednessPlanning Guidance and Infrastructure Effects 11
Dangerous Fallout is delimitedby a 10R/h line.
Descends within 24 hours.
Footprint is generally definedwithin one to two hours
Varies by yield, winds, weather,detonation altitude/depth.
The 7-10 Rule: For everysevenfold increase in time, thereis a tenfold decrease in radiation
rate
Note the relatively rapid retreatof the 10 R/h line over time.
