CBRN Safety 104
CBRN Safety 104 : Chapter II - Domestic CBRN CM (5) Unique Planning Considerations in the Domestic Operational Environment: (E) Control Zones: (2) Warm Zone: The warm zone includes control points for the access corridor and thus assists in reducing the spread of contamination. The warm zone can also be referred to as the decontamination zone, contamination-reduction zone, contamination-reduction corridor, yellow zone, or limited access zone. The warm zone is the area between the hot and cold zones where personnel and equipment decontamination and hot zone support take place. Management of the warm zone includes decontamination corridors where casualties, emergency responders, and equipment are decontaminated and where there is a risk of secondary contamination from objects or individuals brought from the hot zone. Maintaining access control points connecting the warm zone to the hot and cold zones and for the decontamination corridor assists in reducing the spread of contamination. Warm zone operation should be established in an area that is safe from downwind exposure and should include the bulk of the decontamination assets where survey teams are positioned and equipment decontamination is accomplished
