Develop a comprehensive Recovery Plan for one of the four scenarios listed below:

Please note ALL of the Recovery Plan Scenarios listed below are hypothetical. No additional knowledge of the places named is required to complete the Recovery Plan. All of the information you need to create the Recovery Plan is contained within the hypothetical.

• Chemical Scenario: Chemical Attack on the Super Bowl

The New England Patriots are taking on the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl, located in the Louisiana Superdome. The Superdome’s capacity for a football game is approximately 72,000; and the stadium is packed to capacity with excited football fans.

At the beginning of the second quarter fans report a bitter almond smell coming from both the men and women’s bathrooms. Hydrogen cyanide (HCN), a colorless gas form of cyanide, has been released into the stadium via the vents in the Stadium bathrooms. Fans that have visited the bathrooms are experiencing the worst symptoms, while all fans and players are beginning to display symptoms of cyanide poisoning.

Create a recovery plan based on this scenario, which is specific to a chemical attack. Address all of the necessary criteria for the Recovery Plan as it relates to this chemical scenario.

The Recovery Plan should contain the following criteria:

Explain the specific agent used in the attack and the effects of the agent on victims, and surrounding areas, if appropriate.
? Explain symptoms victims will experience and display
?
• Identify which government agencies (local, state, and federal) will need to be involved in the response to the terrorist attack.
• Explain the appropriate role and responsibility for all agencies involved.
• List communication methods between first responders and involved agencies; and identify necessary information that will need to be communicated to the public.
• Explain the unique challenges first responders will face when responding to the attack.
• Identify the proper Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE) that will be needed when responding to the attack.
• Explain how first responders should establish a perimeter and how large the containment effort should be.
