Crisis Assistance

If you need assistance with the medical management of those involved in a radiological/nuclear incident, access to decorporation agents or guidance on their use you can contact REAC/TS.

Medical personnel caring for individual patients (not involved in a mass casualty incident) with exposures in excess of 200 Rad (2 Gy) or with cytopenia should call REAC/TS. Mass casualty incident treatment guidance will be coordinated through local healthcare coalitions or the state.

Prior to contacting REAC/TS

Review the REAC/TS Calls for Assistance video to know in advance what information will be helpful for them to address your questions and concerns.
