Portfolio

Organisations responsible for the management of emergencies, crises and/or disasters Worldwide should understand how to respond and deal with CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive) incidents or events. These deliberate acts can develop rapidly into disasters and very rarely is there any prior information or intelligence that they are going to happen.

Each organisation involved in the response to and recovery from such emergencies or crisis will have crucial roles to play.
