  • Title: Fourteenth Annual Warren K. Sinclair Keynote Address: Aren't We Ready Yet? Closing the Planning, Response, and Recovery Gaps for Radiological Terrorism.
    Author: Herrmann J.
    Journal: Health Phys; 2018 Feb; 114(2):122-127. PubMed ID: 30086000.
    Abstract:
    Following the tragic events of 11 September 2001, the nation has made significant strides in preparing for disasters and emergencies of all types. Federal funding to state, local, territorial, and tribal public health and healthcare systems has required an all-hazards preparedness approach with special focus on those incidents that rise to the top of a jurisdiction's Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment. While disaster planners in many areas of the country have recognized the potential for nuclear accidents and radiological terrorism, these presumably rare events fall further down on their list to plan for when funding and human resources are limited.
