==Background==
Explosive incident response is divided among three stages:

===Pre-Blast Incidents===
*Refers to an explosive device that has not yet detonated. Pre-blast perimeters should be established based on local protocols, procedures, and guidelines.

===Post-Blast Response===
*Refers to an incident involving a device that has already exploded. Decisions are based on the destruction caused by the blast (i.e., the amount of explosives used). First, decide where to establish the inner perimeter; perimeter decisions should include the possibility of additional explosive devices.

*[[Mass casualty incident triage|Triage]] can then begin, which may require rescues from a collapsed building. 

===Continuing Explosive Incident===
These are incidents where a threat from additional explosive devices exists. Responders should seek shelter and safe distance until area is deemed safe for triage and rescue.

==Management==
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 472, Section A.4.2.1 (20):<ref>NFPA 472 Standard for Professional Competence of Responders to
Hazardous Materials Incidents 2002 Edition http://www.disaster-info.net/lideres/english/jamaica/bibliography/ChemicalAccidents/NFPA_472_StandardforProfessionalCompetenceofResponders.pdf</ref>
*Evaluate the scene for likely areas where additional devices could be placed.
*Visually scan the operating areas (a 360-degree scan from the windshield of a vehicle is preferable).
*Avoid touching or moving anything that might conceal an explosive device.
*Designate and enforce scene control zones.
