Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program
• Initiated in 1988• Joint FEMA - Army program• Implemented in 10 states & 41 counties• Current agents include GB (sarin), VX
(nerve agent) & (HD) Mustard• Goal of “maximum public protection” as
mandated by Congress• Disposal completed at Aberdeen, MD Newport, IN Pine Bluff, AR

CSEPP Training
• Initiated in 1990 at CSEPP National Meeting• Comprehensive needs assessment
– by job function– by location
• Training Management Plan developed in 1992 and last revised in 2005

• Mustard-garlic-like smell• Liquid or solid form in normal
state• Melting point about 57oF• Becomes volatile and generates
vapors if heated– burns well once ignited

Sulfur MustardPhysical Properties
Laboratory bottle of sulfur mustard

Lewisite Physical Properties
• Amber to brown liquid– colorless when pure
• About 10 times more volatile than sulfur mustard
• Irritating, fruity or geranium-like odor– little odor when pure
• Persistent• More dangerous as liquid than as vapor

Non-Stockpile Agents
• Cyanide (i.e., CK)
• Pulmonary agents (i.e., Phosgene)

Example of CSEPP Planning Zones
• Immediate Response Zone
• Protective Action Zone
• PrecautionaryZone

Potential Types of Release and Associated Hazards
• If a release is large enough to pose threat to public, the dominant hazard is from breathing air in which agent exists as vapor
• Paths for liquid chemical warfare agent to travel from release point to off-site are limited and relatively easy to block; therefore people off-site unlikely to encounter liquid agent
![Page 27: 1 Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) Integrated Response Course March 9, 2011 Readiness, Response, and Recovery](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649eda5503460f94be9139/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Four Basic Typesof Potential Releases
• Spill• Fire• Explosion• Complex
Simulated Chemical Explosion at Deseret, UT
![Page 28: 1 Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) Integrated Response Course March 9, 2011 Readiness, Response, and Recovery](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649eda5503460f94be9139/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Spill
• On to the ground or other surfaces
• Resulting puddle of agent (liquid deposition) can evaporate into vapor and drift downwind
![Page 29: 1 Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) Integrated Response Course March 9, 2011 Readiness, Response, and Recovery](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649eda5503460f94be9139/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Explosion
• Causes droplets of agent to be formed• Larger, heavier droplets quickly fall to
ground (deposition)• Releases vapors and aerosols (smaller
droplets and particles) that can travel greater distances
![Page 30: 1 Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) Integrated Response Course March 9, 2011 Readiness, Response, and Recovery](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649eda5503460f94be9139/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Fire• Both aerosols and vapors are formed• Vapors and aerosols lifted higher into air
because of heat from fire• Hazard similar to those of an explosion
![Page 31: 1 Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) Integrated Response Course March 9, 2011 Readiness, Response, and Recovery](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649eda5503460f94be9139/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Difference BetweenAerosols and Vapors
• Think of a chemical agent release in terms of hair spray coming from a spray can– when spray is release, it is an
aerosol– larger particles and/or droplets
are deposited near point of release
– particles quickly fall out of air onto hair and skin
– person across room can smell hair spray from breathing vapors released
![Page 32: 1 Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) Integrated Response Course March 9, 2011 Readiness, Response, and Recovery](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649eda5503460f94be9139/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
• It is very unlikely the public would be exposed to droplets and aerosols
• Particles will mostly fall out of plume (via deposition) by time plume reaches installation boundary
• Coordinated response system implemented
What If a Release Occurs?
![Page 33: 1 Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) Integrated Response Course March 9, 2011 Readiness, Response, and Recovery](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649eda5503460f94be9139/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Vapor Hazard
• For most releases, the primary health hazard comes from vapors when they are inhaled or come in contact with skin or eyes
• Agent vapors pose greatest hazard when inhaled because they are rapidly absorbed by lung tissues
• Skin exposure to agent vapors can be hazardous, but seldom life-threatening
![Page 34: 1 Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) Integrated Response Course March 9, 2011 Readiness, Response, and Recovery](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649eda5503460f94be9139/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Federal Response
• NIMS - will require integration of Incident Command System (ICS) as off-post event would likely be of National Interest
• DoD may send team to help communities with detection
• FBI would likely respond to civilian terrorist event - change of custody of samples then would be needed
