Primary Response Incident Scene Management (PRISM) Triple Protocol Method of Decontamination
A collaboration between the University of Hertfordshire in
the United Kingdom and the Biomedical Advanced Research and
Development Authority (BARDA), part of the Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) within the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services, has resulted in the development of a
decontamination decision tool and updated guidance for mass
casualties. PRISM introduces the “triple protocol” of dry, wet,
and technical (specialist) decontamination.
