  1. Standardized Awareness Authorized Training, Train-the-Trainer Explosive Devices

  2. Objectives • Discuss the types of Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) and the explosives and components used to make them. • Identify the types of explosive incident response actions. • Identify potential sources in the community where explosive devices are manufactured, transported, stored, used, or disposed.

  3. Objectives (continued) • Identify the indicators of a possible criminal/terrorist act involving explosives. • Discuss the protective actions for an explosive incident. • Identify structural hazards and safety considerations for individuals during incidents involving explosives. • Discuss instructional strategies for facilitating the “Explosive Devices” module.

  4. Explosive Categories • Low Explosives • High Explosives

  5. Stimuli • Heat • Friction • Impact/shock • Static electricity • Radio Frequency (RF)

  6. Categories of High Explosives • Primary • Secondary • Tertiary

  7. Explosive Materials • Potassium Chlorate • Peroxide-based explosives • Powdered Ammonium Nitrate and Aluminum Powder • Urea Nitrate • Hypergolic explosives

  8. Types of IED • Package-type IED • Vehicle-borne IED • Suicide IED • IED’S may be deployed in any shape, form or size. Photo courtesy of The Bureau of Diplomatic Security

  10. Explosive Incident Response • Preblast incident • Postblast response • Continuing explosive incident Photo courtesy of The County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health

  11. Secondary Devices • Evaluate the scene • Visually scan the operating areas • Avoid touching or moving anything • Designate and enforce scene control zones • Evacuate casualties as quickly/safely as possible

  12. Explosion Effects • Incendiary/Thermal effect • Fragmentation • Shrapnel • Blast Pressure • Positive Pressure • Negative Pressure • Ground and/or water shock Courtesy of FEMA News Photo

  13. Potential Injuries • Broken bones, cuts, abrasions • Eardrum rupture • Lung collapse • Death

  14. Potential Sources of Explosives • Agriculture • Demilitarization work • Excavation • Firefighting/fire suppression systems • Logging • Manufacturing • Railroads • Tunneling • Welding

  15. Indicators of a Criminal/Terrorist Act Involving Explosives • Theft of explosives • Rental of storage space • Unusual deliveries of explosives or chemicals • Chemical fires, toxic odors, stains, or rusted metal fixtures • Small test explosions • Treated/untreated chemical burns • Modification of vehicles to support heavier loads

  16. Indicators of a Criminal/Terrorist Act Involving Explosives (continued) Clues for suicide IEDs • Wearing clothing out of season or location • Loose clothing • Carrying heavy luggage/backpack • Walking with purpose but not running • Purchasing a one-way ticket

  17. Protective Actions for Explosive Devices Courtesy of CDP

  18. Safety Considerations for Individuals • Do not use wireless communication devices. • Notify the proper authorities; (depending on jurisdiction & situation) • Clear and control the area. • Stage emergency personnel outside control point. • Use standard isolation zones. • Do not approach the suspected device.

  19. Hazards Encountered in a PostblastResponse Structural Hazards • Glass • Fragment • Collapse Other Hazards • Utilities • Contaminants • Multiple devices Photo courtesy of FEMA News Photo

  21. Questions for Presentation Preparation • How will you relate the importance of learning this module to your participants? • What do participants need to learn from this module? • What additional resources can you use to reinforce learning the module content? • How will you involve participants in learning this material? • Which safety concerns need reinforcement in this module?

  22. Conclusion • What are the types, categories, preparation, factors, and components of IEDs? • What are the types of explosive incident response actions? • What are some characteristics of typical occupancies and locations in the community where explosive devices are manufactured, transported, stored, used, or disposed? • How are the principles of recognition, identification, and classification applied to explosive device emergencies?

  23. Conclusion (continued) • What are the indicators of a possible criminal/terrorist act involving explosives? • How are protective actions used for an incident involving explosives? • Can you name safety considerations for individuals during incidents involving explosions? • What are some potential instructional strategies you could use for facilitating the “Explosive Devices” module?
