8/8/2007AEL and SEL Updated - FEMA's National Preparedness Directorate has released an update to their Authorized Equipment List (AEL). The AEL is currently used to assist in determining allowability under 13 different grant programs, including the Homeland Security Grant Program. The update includes technical clarifications to categories for chemical and radiological detection equipment to better reflect available technologies and improve the alignment of radiation detection categories with the N42 suite of standards. Other minor changes are also included. All changes are reflected in the AEL Change Log, a copy of which is included as the first two pages of the official AEL PDF file.The InterAgency Board for Equipment Standardization and Interoperability (IAB) has also released an update to their Standardized Equipment List (SEL). In the interest of maintaining the closest possible correlation between the two lists, the IAB has made similar changes to its chemical and radiation detection sections, as well as numerous other updates to the features and operating considerations information contained in the SEL.The timing of these two updates was coordinated so that the Responder Knowledge Base could release them simultaneously using its integrated display facility. RKB users have the option of viewing the new AEL and SEL information in a single-page online format. The AEL and SEL are available online at the above link. The AEL PDF document is available for download either from the Responder Knowledge Base or from its official home location at www.ojp.usdoj.gov/odp. https://www.rkb.mipt.org/contentdetail.cfm?content_id=185232
