What must be set up and manned before entering hot/warm zones?

• A. NBC Warning System
• B. EPDS
• C. CBRN Report Two
• D. NBC Data System

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that there must be a dedicated entry point for removing contamination before anyone goes into the hot or warm zones. An Entry Point Decontamination System is specifically designed to decontaminate personnel and their gear as they transition from a contaminated area to cleaner zones, preventing the spread of contaminants and protecting both people and equipment. It needs to be set up at the boundary and staffed by trained personnel so the decontamination process is performed properly and consistently.

The other options don’t fit this role: an NBC warning system provides alerts about hazards but doesn’t perform decontamination; a CBRN Report Two is a reporting form, not a decon station; an NBC Data System is a data-support tool, not a physical decontamination point.
