In January 2025, ASTHO, EPA, and the National Alliance for Radiation Readiness (NARR) hosted a webinar discussing a newly revised resource on crisis communications during a radiological incident. The Nuclear Detonation Preparedness: Communicating in the Immediate Aftermath document shares information about how to communicate to the public in the first 72 hours following a nuclear detonation. This document contains pre-scripted messages that responders can release immediately following nuclear detonation, including information about immediate protective actions, decontamination, sheltering, evacuating, medical care, and more. During this webinar, EPA experts discussed how to apply this information to radiation readiness plans in various jurisdictions.
