a.

Lee, VA.
b. Availability: This program will be available to military and federal GETN/MIST sites that have GETN/ATN/Warrior digital satellite downlinks. A listing of potential GETN receive sites can be seen here: GETN Site Location.
MIST affiliate satellite networks such as the VA’s Employee Education System and the Department of Justice Television Network may also carry this program but IAW with their own scheduling.

c. Target Audience Statement: First responders; Military, federal and public health professionals and their partners with whom they will need to communicate in a public health emergency; community planners; command and control personnel; public health and medical students.
d. Program Description: Explosions can produce unique patterns of injury seldom seen outside combat. When they do occur, they have the potential to inflict multi-system life-threatening injuries on many persons simultaneously. The injury patterns following such events are a product of the composition and amount of the materials involved, the surrounding environment, delivery method (if a bomb), the distance between the victim and the blast, and any intervening protective barriers or environmental hazards. Blast-related injuries can present unique triage, diagnostic, and management challenges to providers of emergency response care. Unfortunately few public health professionals have experience with explosive-related injuries.
From 1988-1997, the FBI Database Center has reported approximately 17,000 bombings. As the risk of terrorist attacks increases in the US, public health and disaster response personnel must understand the unique pathophysiology of injuries associated with explosions and must be prepared to assess and treat the people injured by them.
e. Program Objectives:1. Describe important historical events involving explosions.
2. Discuss different clinical aspects of blast injuries.
3. Describe public health and first responder activities in reaction to explosions and blasts
