33、ical care for competitors in post-crash situations, whileproviding for the safety of emergency response personnel working at the venue.For the 2009 edition, the application statements were revised to indicate that the docu-ment is not intended to apply to non-motorsports events conducted at a motors

34、ports venue,because such events are covered by other NFPA codes and standards. The revised documentprovides a better description of scalability by creating a method to classify events. This wascarried through the discussion of emergency action plans. A sample emergency action planwas included in Ann
