Fire Service / Emergency Managment Planning
Prepare your agency for all forms of radioactive incidents while keeping your staff safe with our unique, hyper-realistic courses.
Law Enforcement / PRND Mission / Private Facility Safety
These courses focus on the equipment and techniques needed to keep our communities safe by deterring or intercepting radioactive weapons or their material before they can be used.
EMS / First Receivers
Are your Medical First Responders and Healthcare Staff prepared and equipped to receive critical patients with internal and external radioactive contamination? Your emergency plans are only as good as the last time they were exercised, so let the staff at REST provide you with short but effective classes and drills to ensure those plans will work when needed.
The staff at REST will work directly with your agency to develop a high-end, simulation-based tabletop exercise. These exercises are tailorable to both the nature of the emergency and who the intended audience would be; Command Staff, Mid-Line Supervisors, Emergency Planners or a combination of these. A minimum of three months of planning is required for a Tabletop Exercise, and will include a minimum of two planning meetings, one of which may be a site visit.
An operations-based exercise often employed to validate one or more operations or functions. REST will work with the requesting agency to develop a drill for one or more components of a Radiation Emergency Operation (REO). Each drill will be operated independently from the others, allowing for immediate feedback. A minimum of four months of planning is required for a Functional Exercise, and will include a minimum of three planning meetings, one of which will be a site visit.
An operations-based exercise is designed to test and evaluate capabilities and functions while in a realistic, real-time environment; however, movement of resources is usually simulated. A minimum of six months of planning is required for a Functional Exercise, and will include a minimum of three planning meetings, one of which will be a site visit.
An operations-based exercise that is typically the most complex and resource-intensive of the exercise types and often involves multiple agencies, jurisdictions/organizations, and real-time movement of resources. A minimum of one year of planning time is required for a Functional Exercise, and will include a minimum of six planning meetings, two of which will be site visits.
