EV Safety training

My wife found this link and it seemed interesting so I thought I'd pass it on. It's EV safety training for first responders.

Thanks, Tom. Passed it to my firefighter brother.

Sort of related, in the light of recent hurricane on East Coast I was curious if any sort of flood safety measures are incorporated into the Leaf battery. Two issues come to mind: first is being electrocuted while in water next to a flooded Leaf, second is hydrogen produced from electrolysis can create an explosive mixture with air in closed spaces.

Lots of discussion here on that subject:

I just skimmed through the 2011 PDF at the site:

I don't know detail about first responder procedures, but the manual says in several spots that after disabling the high voltage battery one should wait for 10 minutes (for a capacitor to discharge) before beginning any first responder actions. My imagination starts to get the better of me there.
