WHAT TRAININGS ARE THERE?

EWAC TEAM TRAINING
In the event of an airborne release of radioactive materials, BCEM may direct workers and residents within certain Emergency Planning Zones to go to an Emergency Worker Assistance Center (EWAC).  Once there, they will be checked for radioactive contamination, decontaminated if necessary, registered for future health monitoring and sheltered until evacuation orders are lifted.   In the EWAC Team classes, participants will learn the necessary skills to help with radiation monitoring and decontamination.

EMERGENCY OPERATION CENTER (EOC) OVERVIEW
Tour the Benton County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and gain a working knowledge of EOC operations and equipment.  Learn the role volunteers may play during an emergency response.
