| Officers should be familiar with agency ERPs to respond properly to HAZMAT situations and the significances of the goals of the ERPs, which are to: | Protect the public and secure the scene while safeguarding responders |
| "Standard of care" dictates that officers act appropriately when serving the public and an officer's actions are influenced at a hazardous materials incident by: | Numerous laws, regulations, and standards |
| During the first critical minutes of HAZMAT incidents first responders can greatly increase chances of survival by following: | Agency's ERP and standard operating procedures (SOP) |
| Public safety employees have a duty to act to an incident but the responders should not: | Exceed the level of their training and equipment |
| Outlines the first responder's initial, basic actions and an initial safety plan: | ERG (Emergency Response Guidebook) |
| Responders to a hazardous materials incident conduct operations in two modes depending on the training of the individual, they are: | Defensive modes or offensive modes |
| When a responder employ their level of training, available equipment, or degree of the incident prohibits further control of the incident, they are using this mode: | Defensive mode |
| When a responder is placed in close proximity to or in contact with the hazardous material or its vapors and gases, they are employing this mode: | Offensive mode |
| Responders employing offensive modes when responding to hazardous materials, they should: | Take action only after a thorough risk vs. benefit analysis, and only properly trained and protected technician-level responders engage in offensive operations |
| The following is example of an officer using what mode of operation: Awaiting remote shut-off of a gas valve | Offensive mode |

| Officers can cross-reference the ID numbers in the index of the DOT Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) by finding the number on the | Orange panel on the container, placard, or shipping papers or packaging |
| The diamond-shaped symbol is divided into four segments that indicate the following risk: | Health (Blue), Flammability (Red), Reactivity (Yellow), Other (White) |
| In each segment of the diamond-shaped symbol is a number from 0 to 4 indicates the material's relative hazard: a 0 indicates -- ------ and a 4 indicates the ------- ------ | No hazard, highest hazard |
| The area of the diamond-shaped symbol that provides other information or various special hazards of the material is the: | White area |
| Accurate material identification helps an officer to | Completely and accurately asses a situation |

| To avoid risk to persons and property officers should rely on | Agency policies and procedures |
| When responding to any potential HAZMAT situation an officer should do so with extreme caution and from upwind, if unable to from upwind the next choice is | Crosswind |
| The main objectives in isolating an area of potential HAZMAT situation is: | To isolate without entering the area, keep people away from scene, ensure people are upwind and out of low lying areas |
| Officers should prevent direct contamination by avoiding contact with the | Product, gases and vapors, or smoke |
| Officers should prevent secondary contamination resulting from contact with items or persons who have not: | Been properly decontaminated |

| To use protective clothing officers are required to have: | Proper training |
| After officers isolate the immediate are the next step is to | Evacuate or protect persons downwind or within the radius of the incident (depending on whether material spilled or is involved in fire) |
| How far away people should stay from a spill, or the Protective Action Distance, responder's should use this subsection to locate the information | Evacuation subsection |
| If the materials entry in the ERG is highlighted, officers should consult the: | Table of Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances |
| BLEVE stands for | Boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion |
| Fire creates the potential for an | Explosion or BLEVE (Boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion) |
| Recommendations about the in-depth information found in the ERG depends on the spill's | Size, weather conditions, and time of day |
| The Emergency Response subsection of the ERG has three subsections, they are: | Fire, Spill or Leak, and First Aid |
| At the Awareness-level responders when dealing with a fire should: | Not attempt to attack fire involving hazardous materials |
| At the Operational-level responders when dealing with a fire should: | With necessary protection and training can accomplish defensive fire attack |

| During a hazardous materials incident debriefing officers should identify information such as: | Identify weakness, document the termination process, identify the need for post-exposure medical evaluations |
| During the on-scene debriefing officers should advise all responders of all strengths and weaknesses in the critique and after-action analysis phases and also: | Materials exposed to, signs and symptoms of overexposure, whom to contact if they notice signs and symptoms of exposure |
| To prevent hazardous materials incidents from happening again, the employer: | Identifies methods to correct weaknesses, implements the plan, and addresses training issues |
| Is an illegally manufactured, highly addictive stimulant | Methamphetamine |
| Methamphetamine can be used/abused by several ways, they are: | Injected, taken orally, or inhaled by smoking or snorting |
| Methamphetamine is often manufactured in: | Small, makeshift laboratories in rural areas and communities surrounding larger cities. |
| Police departments and sheriff's offices often discover labs when: | Serving arrest warrants or investigating other criminal activity |
| Officers should follow several safety guidelines when they encounter a methamphetamine lab and should be of: | Chemical present, equipment and stages involved in manufacturing it |
| Dangerous chemicals used in making meth can be kept: | Kitchens, cooking areas or throughout a residence |
| It is not unusual for meth labs to be: | Mobile and located in the trunk or trailer |
| Methamphetamine is manufactured by converting | Psuedoephedrine or ephedrine |
| The two common methods used in converting meth are: | Red phosphorous, the "Red P" method and the Anhydrous ammonia, the "Nazi" method |
| If an officer suspects a meth lab is present, the officer should: | Avoid inhaling fumes or having any contact with the chemicals, as they can cause explosions or oxygen depletion |
| Many chemicals used to make meth in addition to being explosive are also: | Highly corrosive |
| Officers should not touch anything or turn anything off or on, because they make be: | Booby-trapped |
| Due to possible contamination from a meth lab officers must not: | Place anything in their patrol cars or remove any items from the site |
| When officers encounter a meth lab or suspected meth lab they should always: | Err on the side of caution |
| When responding to a bomb threat, initial information will guide an officer's actions upon arrival. They should obtain as much info from dispatch as possible such as: | Nature of complaint, means of the threat and time received, alleged time of detonation, location of device, and threat recipient |
| If information is not available from dispatch when dealing with a bomb threat, officers should obtain it by talking wit: | Witnesses or the complaint |
| It is necessary to identify the nature of bomb threat complaint which may be: | A threat, suspected explosive device, explosion, or a combination of these |
| Most bomb threats are made by phone, however others may be made by: | Leaving message on an answering machine, leaving a not at the scene, or sending a threat by letter, fax, or email |
| The time of the bomb threat call will help guide an officer to estimate: | Possible time of detonation, level of risk, and deadline by which evacuations or searches must be completed |
| A common policy or rule when dealing with a bomb threat is to be out of the building at least: | 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after alleged time of detonation |
| The first officer on the scene of a bomb threat may suggest alternative routes for the: | Fire department, EMS or bomb squad |
| To help an officer find an item's location they can get an accurate description of the location from: | Street maps, building layouts, or someone familiar with the area |
| If an officer can tell the bomb squad the exact location of the suspected device, the bomb squad can: | Easily find it and predict possible damaged caused by explosion |
| An officer, in relation to the suspect device, must also be able to describe precisely location in relation to building layout or area and its relation to: | Potential hazards |
| Potential hazards an officer must be aware of in the area of a suspected device are: | Fuel storage tanks, stored chemicals, tanks of pressurized gas, steel rods, rolls or wire, or containers of bolts or nails |
| To prevent accidental triggering or detonation of a bomb officers must determine whether or not to turn off: | Radios and radio wave-transmitting devices |

| Officers should avoid coming close to a device if its location is known and should chose a route that leads: | To a stopping point a safe distance away from the danger |
| When trying to decide where to park, officers should follow the rule evacuations which is referred to as the | "300 foot with cover" rule |
| The first officers on the scene often will have to move in closer to | Confer with the representatives of the building |
| Once parked, officers should maintain a safe location and distance from the threat and adjust distance and location if: | New information indicates the initial stopping point is too close |
| When deciding where to park, tactically and safely, responding to a explosion threat officers should | Look for natural or man-made structures to provide protective cover |
| Officers should use a tactical approach and arrival to the site of a bomb and even if they are not the first responder should always check their position for and do the following: | Secondary devices or suspicious packages, note prominent features and approximate safe distances so specific directions may be given, and recommend potential command sites to dispatch |
| Some signs an officer might notice of hazardous materials at the scene of a suspected bomb site are: | Unusual smell or irritation to skin, eyes, or breathing passages. |
| If an officer observes any signs or symptoms of hazardous materials the officer should move: | Upwind and uphill from the hazard and seek medical attention |
| If the officer approaches the scene and sees signs of an explosion there are new safety issues and they can include: | Broken gas lines, weakened building structures, debris and fires |
| If an explosion has occurred the officer should immediately alert EMS and the FD and request additional backup and should also: | Increase the perimeter distance and secure the possible crime scene |
| Sometimes the recipient of the threat is most important witness and should be located and interviewed as soon as possible, and additionally: | Not allowed to leave the scene for further questioning by the bomb squad and investigators |
| The officer interviewing people at the scene should request dispatch to have these following people meet them at a agreed-upon place, they are: | Complainant, owner/representative of the building or threatened area, or another knowledgeable person |
| Bomb threats can occur at other locations that the target or dispatch, they are: | Media station or 911 |
| Sources of information about credibility of a bomb threat on a building and the threat area may come in many different ways, they are: | Officer's assessment of situation, credibility of threat, level of risk, advisability of an evacuation, location's evacuation plan, means of communication within evacuation location, availability of building plans |
| This will be the major issue in determining whether to search or evacuate when dealing with a bomb threat | Credibility |
| Official capacity in giving permission to search or evacuate a building or area must giving by: | Owner/representative |
| If agency policy allows officers to assist in searching for explosive devices, officers should inform owner will provide assistance only with persons knowledgeable about the building's: | Layout, contents, and occupants |
| An officer should advise the owner that it is his or her decision to evacuate unless | A device is found. Officer will then issue a mandatory evacuation |
| Critical information when searching and evacuating the building and securing assess includes: | Entrances, exits, and any existing evacuation plans |
| If the first contacts cannot provide information about the building it is necessary to obtain the names and locations of individuals who can such as: | Custodian, security officer or maintenance supervisor |
| Officers should find out who controls access to the building and ask questions about possible bomb threat suspects who may include: | Ex-employees, disgruntled employees, angry customers, employees who may be experiencing disputes with significant others, or expelled or suspended students |
| Bomb threats may come in a physical form, examples are: | Letter or note, item is considered as evidence |
| Bomb threats may come in a verbal form, some agencies have procedures and arrangements for tracing phone calls with the: | Local telephone company or cell phone companies |
| All threats and bomb situations must be treated as: | Real until proven otherwise |
| An officer must estimate the credibility of the threat when deciding whether to recommend: | Search or evacuation, participate in a search, notify bomb squad/fire department/EMS, or move public farther from threat |
| For officers and others involved physical evidence may substantiate a threat's: | Credibility and risk level |
| Examples of physical evidence dealing with a threat may include: | Found device, suspicious item, threatening note or letter, suspicious car, suspicious circumstances (door or window usually locked found unlocked, vice versa), signs of illegal entry, or items moved from their normal position |
| Early in the investigation if it is discovered that video security surveillance system exists tapes will need to be viewed eventually and should be: | Removed and preserved as potential evidence to prevent being damaged or destroyed by an explosion |
| In a bomb threat situation the advisability of a search depends on different factors, including: | Obtaining permission to search, level of risk for those conducting the search, possibility of threats in addition to a bomb, agency policy on its officers searching for explosives |
| Information received in the threat or warning might indicate the risk is too high and that the device is: | Cleverly booby-trapped, triggered remotely by bomber observing |
| If bomb is supposed to detonate soon the search should be: | Postponed |
| If an explosion occurs or occurred before officer arrival the responsibility to search for explosives no longer exist and officer should focus on | Safety of others |
| The most obvious area(s) to search are those mentioned in the threat if any then focus on the next publicly areas such as: | Entrance-ways and foyers, lobbies, waiting areas, restrooms, cleaning and storage closets, and elevator shafts (including top of elevator) |
| If search of public areas fail a determination whether to search the rest of the building or area must be made and should go from: | Bottom to top, with the basement areas, including utility rooms and areas with heating, cooling, electrical power, and telephone equipment |
| The exterior search for a secondary device should be done first must include a search of the exterior perimeter of the: | Building,nearby surroundings areas, edge of the street, evacuation gathering point, emergency responders staging area or command post |
| Officers are not expected to know and be able to identify all varieties of: | Bombs, explosives, and military ordnances |
| Officers, from a safe distance, can assist bomb technicians by obtaining any information possible about potential explosive device such as: | Color, shape, size, anything protruding from, partially covered, inside container and any names, labels, placards, chemical symbols or signs indicating the type of explosive |
| Officers or employees should avoid the following actions if a potential explosive device or suspicious item is found is: | Never attempt to open or even examine a suspected device or package, allowed to handle suspicious items |

| Nuclear detonation energy is released through: | Light, thermal energy, shock waves, blasts or wind, direct radiation, and fallout |
| Potential injuries from a nuclear detonation include: | Light damage to eyes, burns to the skin, blast (pressure) injuries, being hit by propelled objects, radiation from the bomb ignition, falling radioactive particles |
| A device can be radioactive component but does not necessarily make the device radioactive, to be referred to as radiological (having a radioactive characteristic) depends on: | Type, amount, or encasement of the component |
| Environmental indicators of a nuclear attack include: | Damage to a facility or vehicle, the use of bombs, missiles, or other damaging objects (airplane and the release of radioactive materials) |
| Are traditional bombs with radioactive materials loaded into the casing | Dirty bombs |
| Dirty bombs are not considered nuclear weapons because they do not contain: | The same explosive power, their radiation is preloaded whereas nuclear weapons create radioactivity upon detonation |
| There are several indicators of presence of a dirty bomb device or explosion such as: | Require a casing and detonation mechanism (pieces may be present at the scene) and witnesses may state blew just blew apart |

| Relatively cheap, easy to produce, greatest overall threat from WMD category and can kill many people because a small amount of agent can be spread over a wide area | Chemical weapon |
| Physical destruction of property from a chemical weapon is minimal but environmental contamination can be | Serious and prolonged and can include destroying of food crops, contamination of water sources, and the death and extinction of animals |
| Officers should anticipate a threatening environment when dealing with chemical weapons that might release gases or aerosols because of the delay of the effects and the following signs and symptoms include: | Numerous ill persons suffering breathing problems, blurry vision, and unidentifiable muscle contractions |
| In addition to the physiologic effects of a potential WMD situations such as: | Entering area that does not appear to WMD-related, location where physical structures are unstable or secondary device, situation in which people panic and look officers for immediate relief |
| An officer's first responsibility in a CBRNE situation is to: | Protect him- or herself, others and property |
| Emergency responders can decide whether to evacuate victims or protect them on-site based on: | Civilian mobility and the degree to which victims have been exposed to materials. Are they ambulatory? Are the contaminated? |
| Traditional law enforcement response and rescue approach will not work for WMD incidents because: | Rushing into a chemical, biological, or explosive scene could result in the first responder's death or additional victims |
| In an isolated area with no persons nearby communication and notification can be done before: | Securing the scene |
| Officers should approach the WMD incident cautiously from: | Upwind, uphill, and upstream position. Until he or she can safely identify and/or assess the CBRNE situation |
| Officers should approach the WMD incident and stop a minimum of: | 300 feet, however 500 to 1000 feet might be needed. |
| Should be consulted for recommended shielding distances from blast zones and safe distances from chemical releases: | The ERG |
| Is an important step in responding to a WMD incident | Isolation |

| Victim Collection Points allow EMT's to easily locate those who need medical treatment and can be designated once: | A preliminary perimeter has been established |
| Tactical considerations officers need to remember when securing the scene is to isolate exposed victims and contaminated include: | Monitoring entry to scene, assuring public protection (evacuating or protecting an area), confining & containing all contaminated & exposed victims, scene safe or able to be safe for operations, protecting scene/evidence, security & control of perimeter |
| Securing the scene should focus more on: | Preventing entry rather than preventing the exit of victims |
| Officer should avoid physical contact with possibly contaminated person and: | Direct those persons to a safe location where decontamination can occur |
| The use of force to detain a contaminated person might be justified if officials suspect: | The person is involved in the attack |
| If an officer is the first on the scene of a CBRNE incident he or she should: | Relay information to responding units |
