Now it should not be a case of untrained and unknowing civilians treating the casualties, chemical has supposedly been in use in the region for years. They should be aware of precautions.
what video? what was the official advice?? "wash your clothes"???
TBH [and fair] WHAT CIVIL DEFENCE ORGANISATION is there to organise a response.
I
have a feeling that making the local population AWARE of the RISKS at PD has not been a priority for the Civil Service.
Would be interesting to see what the actual POLICY is both at PD and the local authorities. Probably lain dormant for many years.....you know how it is, no need to upset people, we haven't the budget etc, etc.
