Response / SMART Tour // <<PREVIOUS PAGE<< | >>NEXT PAGE>>

Once the teams have arrived on location, they collect background data before the burn starts, then continue to collect data throughout the duration of the burn, and for 15-30 minutes after the smoke has cleared.

The teams report particulate concentration trends to the Group Supervisor, who forwards the information to the Scientific Support Coordinator (SSC) at the Command Post. The SSC then reviews the data and forwards it, with recommendations, to the Unified Command.

Monitoring Exercise Here, a monitoring exercise is conducted at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. The team arrived on location by helicopter.
