Welcome
to the June 2007 Issue!
We're still making
the world safer!
Early June, I went and spoke again to theSan Diego CAER group on
CFVA's. This time, we were able to give them the updated
information on the regulations. We've developed a 4 hour training
course that incorporates both ICS-100 (Introduction to the Incident
Command System) and ICS-700 (Introduction to the
National Incident Management System.) So it's still
busy. Our article on the Chemical Facility
Vulnerability
Assessment Regulations was be published this month in the
Journal of Environmental Management Arizona. We're still trying
to
give you some bite-sized information that you can remember and use to
make your little piece of the world safer. The bad guys still want to
hurt anyone who loves the Red, White and Blue, and some of our
political candidates are doing their best to help divide the
country. This upcoming election season, whatever your persuasion,
please vote only for candidates who are trying to bring the country
together rather than setting us at each other's throats. Thanks
again for your help in making this
world a safer place!!!

Recent Events
The Orange County Private Sector Terrorism Response
Group in
conjunction with the Orange County Terrorism Early Warning Group
recently held a seminar at Oakley Headquarters titled: Then Terror
Comes to Main Street. It was based on the book by LTC Joe Ruffini
of the same name. Joe put on a great presentation and discussed
many of the same ideas that Stephen puts forward. Most
interesting was a discussion on the events of the school hostages in
Breslan, Russia. Folks, if you want to see a model of how
terrorists plan to cause a significant amount of terror in the US, look
at Breslan.
For more information on LTC Ruffini, his book, or speaking events, you
can look him up here: http://www.jpr-online.com/live/
We have developed a 4- hour, high-speed, low-drag, training class
incorporating the principles of ICS-100 and ICS-700. Normally,
each of these classes is 8 hours. By condensing them both into a
four hour course, we have been able to reduce the amount of time
required to be spent by jurisdictional employees by 12 hours per
person. For more information on this class, please contact us at:

Useful Information
The Office
of Public Affairs of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have
developed messages and other resources for federal, state, local, and
tribal public health officials to use during a response to an
emergency.
These include:
1. Short and extended messages offering health and safety
information for the first hours
2. Radio scripts, slates, B-roll and sound bites to aid
with media outreach
3. University research reports that formed the groundwork
for these materials
The extent of the resources varies for each agent. There are four
categories of terrorism agents:
1. Bioterrorism agents
2. Chemical agents
3. Radiological Emergencies
4. Suicide bombs
