In a mass decon corridor's Cold Zone, which of the following occurs?

In a mass decontamination corridor's Cold Zone, the environment is generally considered a safe zone where individuals can be processed after contamination events. In this area, individuals who have been decontaminated can be reunited with their personal belongings, provided those belongings have not been irreversibly contaminated. This practice helps maintain a sense of normalcy and comfort, as personal effects can often be valuable to individuals and may help them cope with the stress of the incident.

The Cold Zone is distinct from the Warm and Hot Zones, which contain higher levels of contamination and present greater risks to health and safety. In the Cold Zone, the focus is on recovery and stabilization rather than immediate treatment, which is why individuals are not receiving onsite medical treatment as a standard. Furthermore, personnel are typically allowed in the Corridor but with specific access control to maintain safety and health protocols. Disposing of personal effects is usually a last resort and not a standard practice in the Cold Zone unless contamination levels warrant such an action.
