CSEPP Medical Resource Guide

This CSEPP Medical Resource Guide was developed to provide the pre-hospital and hospital medical communities with an all-hazards approach that emphasizes chemical recognition, decontamination, and treatment. It identifies fundamental documents necessary for the medical community to assist with planning, including standards and guidelines, tools, a comprehensive medical concept of operations, response and recovery information, and learning strategies.

CSEPP Exercise Guidance

The CSEPP Exercise Guidance provides program guidance for implementation of full-scale exercises involving local, State, and Federal participants as part of the Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program. It describes a process for planning an exercise, managing and controlling the exercise event, and evaluating and documenting the results consistent with the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program. Appendices address the after-action report and improvement plan process, extent of play agreements, exercise evaluation guides, a NIMS ICS management structure, and a sample planning timeline for a full-scale community exercise.

CSEPP Medical Exercise Guidance

There are also two documents intended as either a self-evaluation tool or a guide for evaluators during an exercise with a mass casualty situation:

• Hospital Medical Evaluation Guidance
• Pre-Hospital Medical Evaluation Guidance
