The 10th Annual Institute for Disaster Mental Health conference will provide training and planning opportunities to strengthen our community’s preparedness for catastrophic radiological events by presenting new information and recommendations that can be incorporated into planning procedures for multiple organizations that will need to collaborate in any response. Presentations and discussions will provide attendees with up-to-date information and recommendations from current research as well as professional training in practices critical to radiological disaster response. Reviewing the diverse consequences of different types of radiological disasters will enable the whole community to become better prepared for future nuclear accidents or terrorist attacks involving radiation exposure and/or contamination.
