Protecting First Responders, Govt. Agency Workers and Military Personnel

Keeping responders, including firefighters, police and emergency medical personnel, along with government agency workers and Japan’s Ground Self-Defense Force (GSDF) personnel, safe from high concentrations or cumulative radiation and the potentially hazardous gases left in the wake of the earthquake and tsunami requires specialized gas- and radiation-detection equipment remains a priority.

First responders and military organizations typically are the first to arrive in many of the earthquake- and tsunami-ravaged areas of Japan. These teams never know the kinds of situations they will find, from areas with high concentrations of radiation to poisonous gases that have built up in the confined spaces of abandoned homes and businesses.

For government agencies, such as the Japan Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, ongoing surveys measuring levels of radiation and toxic-gas contamination are important for keeping the public informed and safe.
