The following is taken from one unit's actual Nuclear Incident Procedure, and could be helpful in supplementing the information previously posted.

Militia units need to know what to do as a unit in emergency situations, so these basic steps have been pre-established among some units. (Local details have been left out, and obviously, these steps can be modified to the individual AO requirements).

NUCLEAR INCIDENT PROCEDURES


THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE IS AUTHORIZED WITH THE ASSUMPTION THAT AN EVACUATION DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE IMMEDIATELY REQUIRED. THIS ASSUMPTION SHOULD BE CHANGED AS NECESSARY WHEN FIELD DATA BECOMES AVAILABLE.

IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENTS:

COMMUNICATIONS UNIT:
DETERMINE THE LOCATION OF THE OCCURRENCE, IDENTIFY EACH OCCURRENCE FOR LOCATION, TYPE OF BLAST, DAMAGE RECEIVED, AND THEN CHART.

DETERMINE TRAVEL ROUTES BEING USED BY CIVILIANS EXITING AREAS NEAR BLAST ZONE, AND RATE OF FLOW OUTWARD. MONITOR WHERE AND WHAT TYPES OF GOVERNMENT-ASSISTED FACILITIES ARE BEING ESTABLISHED FOR CARE OF VICTIMS AND EVACUEES. ESTIMATE THROUGH RADIO CONTACT, THE APPROXIMATE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE BEING EVACUATING, AND WHERE THEY ARE GOING.

MONITOR GOVERNMENT CHANNELS, AND REPORT ON TYPES OF UNITS AND ASSIGNMENTS.

BE ESPECIALLY ALERT TO ANY TALK OF SANITATION AND CONTAMINATION PROBLEMS.

MAKE RADIO CONTACT WITH OTHER UNITS OUTSIDE REGION, REQUEST STATUS REPORT. DETERMINE WHICH UNITS ARE IN NEED OF HELP, AND WHICH UNITS CAN BE RELIED UPON IF WE NEED TO EVACUATE OUR AO.


MEDICAL UNIT:
COORDINATE EFFORTS WITH COMMUNICATIONS UNIT. MONITOR RADIOS, APPRAISE AS MANY WEATHER FORECASTS AS POSSIBLE. DO NOT RELY ON WEATHER PROJECTIONS COMING FROM THE IMMEDIATE AREA, AS THEY WILL LIKELY BE MANIPULATED TO CONTROL PANIC AND HYSTERIA. OBTAIN DISTANT REPORTS WHICH ARE RELIABLE.
CHART WEATHER PATTERNS, AND DETERMINE A 24 HOUR AND 72 HOUR PROJECTION OF WIND/CLOUD COVER WITH FALLOUT PROJECTIONS.
DETERMINE MEDICAL IMPACT OF BLAST(S) ON OUR UNIT, AND ESTIMATE NUMBER OF CASUALTIES (AND TYPES) WE CAN EXPECT TO SEE IF WE STAY IN THIS AO OVER A 72 HOUR PERIOD.
REVIEW STOCK OF MEDICAL SUPPLIES, EQUIPMENT, AND FACILITIES, AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS IN LIGHT OF ESTIMATED CASUALTY FIGURES WHICH CAN BE EXPECTED IN OUR AO.


RESOURCE & LOGISTICS UNIT:
DETERMINE THE MOST CRUCIAL ASSETS THAT WILL BE AFFECTED BY FALLOUT. FOOD ? WATER ? TRANSPORTATION EQUIPMENT ? (EMP BLAST effects ON VEHICLES, COMPUTERS, RADIOS, ETC. ?). IMPLIMENT PLAN TO REPLACE DAMAGED MATERIALS OR OBTAIN MORE MATERIALS OVER A 72 HOUR PERIOD, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT ESTIMATED CASUALTY FIGURES GENERATED.


SECURITY UNITS:
ASSIGN PATROL FOR INTEL. ASSIGN AND SET UP CHECKPOINT DUTY IN PRE-DETERMINED LOCATIONS TO DIVERT PROBABLE INFLUX OF PANICKED EVACUEES AND GANG-RELATED ACTIVITIES.

------------------------

If procedures are well-planned, and militia units are aware of their responsibilities, emergencies such as this can be kept managable.
