Civilian Emergency Platform
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — After an industrial accident, transport spill, or unknown source, a person may have radiation exposure — often without immediate symptoms.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — NOT EXPERT REVIEWED — NOT FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Known radiological incident nearby or visible warning signs.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Metallic taste, nausea, or skin redness may appear later — not always immediate.
Scene hazards: Invisible contamination, Official cordons
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Increase distance from suspected source. Shield behind solid structures if possible.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Call emergency number — report possible radiation exposure.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Remove outer layers carefully. Bag clothing without shaking.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Shower or wash skin and hair with soap — gentle, no scrubbing broken skin.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Call 112. Possible radiation exposure — location and symptoms.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Follow nuclear/regulatory authority public instructions.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Hospital radiation protocols include survey meters and specialized decontamination.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Symptoms may develop over days — medical monitoring is essential.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Do NOT take random iodine pills — wrong dose and timing are harmful.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Do NOT enter cordoned zones to help without protective guidance.
MYTH: DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Everyone should take iodine pills after any radiation rumor
REALITY: DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Potassium iodide only helps specific radioactive iodine exposure when authorities say to take it.
DANGER: DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Harmful side effects from unnecessary iodide and false sense of security.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Radiation injury may be delayed — absence of burns does not mean safety.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Contamination on skin or clothes can spread.
