Radiological Emergency Response Plan

A Radiological Emergency Response Plan is a structured guide that outlines how authorities and responders act quickly and effectively during a radiological incident, such as a leak or accident involving radioactive materials. It includes protocols for protecting public health, minimizing radiation exposure, communicating information, and controlling the situation. The plan involves coordination among emergency services, health agencies, and facilities handling radioactive substances to ensure safety, provide accurate information, and reduce risks to people and the environment. Essentially, it's a prepared strategy to manage and contain radiological emergencies efficiently and safely.
