Editorial Review: Book Description: The Spanish language on-scene tool for first responders The expert chem-bio information that you have come to expect from Jane's is now available for Latin-American Spanish speaking first responders. The practical and accessible format will help first responders identify, assess and react to any type of chemical-biological attack, in a language conducive to all responders and planners involved. Contents include • On-scene procedures for emergency response personnel • Checklists for rapid response • Triage and casualty management • Chemical-biological agent descriptions and effects • Chemical-biological agent delivery systems and methods • Management of biological casualties • Meteorological conditions • Chem-bio case studies Average Rating:
 Rating:  - WONDERFUL!This is a wonderful book for any first responder to have. It is very easy to use because not only does it come with on and off scene procedures, but it also has quick reference tables and charts. On a scale of 1 to 5 I give it a 10!

About the only thing I'd change would be to laminate the pages for weather resistance. R.D. Lopez, Emergency Medical Services and Disaster Specialist, Dept. of Public Health Rating: - Well written, portable, multi-purposeThis book offers a concise overview of (1) on scene procedures such as triage and decontamination, (2) general characteristics of weapon classes, (3) details of specific agents, and (4) treatments. It also describes precursor chemicals and 4 case histories. It is better written and more detailed than the comparable book "First responder chem-bio handbook". Browse for similar items by category:
