This one appears to be more of a class instruction, but it has good info:

This is a .pdf on some testing that was done:

It helps the responders that do not yet have a team or would be worried that they asking for help would be seen as weakness. Please join and share it when you can. As a chaplain with over 25 years of service to fire departments I am excited with it's potential to provide support.
