When responding to a Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) incident, EMTs should consider the agent and the route of dispersal. The route of dispersal can affect operations, including PPE, decontamination, and the number of victims. The ideal model of transmission depends on the agent's properties. The route of dispersal can be through: aerosolization, thermal detonation, contamination of water and food supply, and human-to-human contact. 

Initial management of chemical exposures includes: Protection of providers, Triage, Stabilization, and Decontamination.
