Decontamination

Exposure to hazardous chemicals released during an accident, dirty bomb or chemical attack poses a serious health threat requiring immediate response and treatment. Hospitals across the state were funded to purchase decontamination equipment establishing its decontamination capabilities. Competency based training was provided to ensure staff had the knowledge and understanding to respond to such an event at their facility.
