"Radiation biological dosimetry tools for emergency responders"

I am aware of some pretty good training program directed towards First 
Responders.

There are resources for medical professionals too, as this site offers:
http://www.afrri.usuhs.mil/www/outreach/biodostools.htm#guidance

Much, much more can and should be done as far as not only first responders, 
but the general
population in reference to "radiation" education.  It almost seems as if the 
populace is being coddled in
the U.S. , withholding any sort of technical info from the masses.  Is this 
a unique American issue?

It would be nice to hear from international members on this point.
