[CPEO-MEF] UXO Safety Webpage

[CPEO Moderator <cpeo@cpeo.org>]

The Department of Defense has recently made available on their website 
an Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) Safety Education Program.  Highlighting the 
key components of civilian UXO encounters, the multimedia program 
functions to educate community members at a student/teacher level.  At 
its most effective, the website serves the public with instructions on 
how to identify UXO, supplemented by safety precautions and directions 
concerning who to inform and how.  The website, which is addressed 
generally to DoD organizations and the public, successfully speaks to 
the gamut of the community, offering detailed descriptions of UXO 
(accompanied by images), frequently asked questions, a glossary of terms 
and definitions, and downloadable posters and activity workbooks for 
parents and children (in .pdf format).

>From an educator's standpoint, the website offers the means to attain a 
basic knowledge of UXO identification and handling procedures as well as 
methods of relaying the information to those of different levels of 
understanding within the community.  The website makes available 
instructors' guides, downloadable slideshows, video stream public 
service announcements, printable images, news releases and incident 
reports- all functioning complementary to one another to educate 
community members to a heightened awareness of the dangers of UXO.  
Further, if community members want additional training, the website 
makes available a request form for training seminars on the subject.
