  The Radiation Studies Branch (RSB) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH) convened a meeting August 19–20, 2010, in Atlanta, Georgia. The meeting, a roundtable of Emergency Management Services (EMS) experts, was held at the Westin Atlanta Perimeter North Hotel. Attachment 1 lists those attending.
  
  The meeting’s goals, described by RSB Chief Dr. Charles Miller, were 1) to discuss the extent of the EMS community’s preparedness for a mass casualty radiation incident, what it may need, and how CDC could help, and 2) to explore other questions that should be posed and addressed. The input from this and other similar meetings will contribute to the development of new or updated training aids and educational materials.
