Community Reception Centers
Local response strategy for conducting population monitoring Multi-agency effort, public health lead Staffed by government officials and organized
volunteers Opened 24-48 hours post event Located outside of hot zone Comparable to PODs, NEHCs
![Page 4: Kevin Caspary, MPH](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/568167b3550346895ddd00bb/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Community Reception Centers
Services include: Contamination screening Decontamination Limited medical care
Main purpose is to prioritize people for further care Ease burden on hospitals Manage scarce medical
resources

Initial Sorting
Staff identify people who have : Urgent medical needs High levels of contamination Special needs Decontaminated before
coming to the CRC
![Page 9: Kevin Caspary, MPH](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/568167b3550346895ddd00bb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

First Aid Medical staff care for
and/or transport patients with urgent medical needs
Life saving care takes priority! Do not delay transport
for decontamination!
