Radiological terrorism has been recognized as a probable scenario with high impact. Radiological preparedness planning at the federal and state levels has been encouraging, but translating complex doctrines into operational readiness at the local level has proved challenging. Based on the authors' experience with radiological response planning for the City of Baltimore, this article describes an integrated approach to municipal-level radiological emergency preparedness planning, provides information on resources that are useful for radiological preparedness planning, and recommends a step-by-step process toward developing the plan with relevant examples from the experience in Baltimore. Local governmental agencies constitute the first line of response and are critical to the success of the operation. This article is intended as a starting framework for local governmental efforts toward developing a response plan for radiological incidents in their communities.
放射恐怖主义已被认为是一种可能发生且影响巨大的情况。联邦和州层面的放射防护规划工作令人鼓舞，但将复杂的理论转化为地方层面的应急准备能力却颇具挑战性。本文根据作者在巴尔的摩市放射应急规划方面的经验，描述了一种整合的市级放射应急准备规划方法，提供了放射防护规划有用资源的信息，并结合巴尔的摩的经验推荐了一个制订规划的逐步流程。地方政府机构是应对的第一线，对行动的成功至关重要。本文旨在为地方政府制定其社区内放射事件应对预案提供一个初步框架。
