English Abstract




An emergency response facility for handling mass casualties, victims of
chemical
spills, or the like, is disclosed. Persons arriving at the facility are
required to undress
completely before being allowed to pass into a shower room for decontamination
with
an appropriate decon solution. The invention includes means for preventing
persons
from leaving the facility without passing through the shower room. Preferably
persons can only pass through the facility in one direction: persons first
enter a clothing
bagging area where they must remove all clothing, and cannot leave the bagging
area
until they are completely free of clothing, jewellery, personal effects,
wearable
computers, or other devices attached to their bodies that could interfere with
complete
decon or could harbour contamination or chemical agents. Preferably there are
dual
facilities, or dual tracks, one for men, and another for women, each
comprising a
bagging room, a shower area, and a drying area, with a seventh triage
observation area,
or remote video link and remotely operable passage locks and plumbing valve
controls for triage personnel to supervise, observe, and administer the
decontamination
process and identify victims who are in greatest need of immediate medical
attention.
