4. Sulfur Mustard Event Example

The following example illustrates the decision-making criteria and process used in a theoretical HD chemical weapon attack in the United States. While this event is hypothetical, the exercise demonstrates specific interagency activities and associated decision criteria that could plausibly be used if the incident were real. The summary of the incident is presented below followed by Table B-6, which contains scenario-specific details from the HD example for each of the response phases. Refer to Appendix A for more details on exposure guidelines included with this scenario.
