This interview with Claudia Albano, Manager, Neighborhood Services, City of Oakland, CA, is regarding the Rad Resilient City fallout preparedness checklist, published by the Center for Biosecurity of UPMC. This workbook provides cities and their neighbors with a checklist of preparedness actions that could save tens of thousands of lives or more following a nuclear terrorist attack. The Checklist converts the latest federal guidance and technical reports into 7 clear, actionable steps that all communities can take now to protect residents from radioactive fallout. The workbook includes a wealth of background information, a phased implementation plan, guidance for using buildings as shelters, a community preparedness education plan, and guidelines for developing and samples of post-event messages to guide and save lives. The Rad Resilient City Checklist was developed by the Center for Biosecurity of UPMC in collaboration with the Nuclear Resilience Expert Advisory Group.
