Defining the Hazard EnvironmentDefining the Hazard Environment
The Hot Zone- Is the area The Hot Zone- Is the area closest to the collapse closest to the collapse The Warm Zone- Is The Warm Zone- Is established to provide an established to provide an area to control access to area to control access to the immediate disaster the immediate disaster site, (Tool ,Equipment site, (Tool ,Equipment storage along with storage along with possibly the cut station)possibly the cut station)The Cold Zone - Is the The Cold Zone - Is the outer boundary of the outer boundary of the incident (Rehab, incident (Rehab, Probable location of cut Probable location of cut team)team)
