Notice to Readers: Satellite Broadcast: Radiological Monitoring
and Decontamination
CDC and the Public Health Training Network will present a satellite broadcast and webcast entitled
"Radiological Monitoring and Decontamination," on March 9, 2006, at 1:00 p.m. EDT. CDC is developing radiological
population monitoring guidelines for communities in consultation with
advisors from federal, state, local, and academic
organizations. This 2-hour broadcast will cover the basic components of these guidelines under development. The program will also
help community leaders and public health workers prepare to conduct short- and long-term monitoring of populations affected
by a nuclear or radiological terrorist incident or unintentional release of radioactive materials into the environment. A
question-and-answer session will enable participants to ask questions by toll-free telephone, fax, or TTY lines. Questions may also
be sent by e-mail to rsb@cdc.gov both before and during the broadcast.
Participants are responsible for setting up their own viewing locations and are encouraged to register their locations as
soon as possible so that persons who wish to view the broadcast can access information online. Directions for
establishing and registering viewing locations are available at
http://www.cdcnpin.org. The broadcast can be viewed live or after broadcast
on computers with Internet and
RealPlayer capability through
