Coursework - 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.

Task

You have been tasked with completing an electronic information portfolio regarding CBRNE response for a specific site, using the plan template provided (by the Tutor). This will be used by the Organisation to assess whether current arrangements for dealing with CBRNE emergencies are suitable and sufficient.

Your Portfolio Document should include:

1. An Assignment cover sheet

2. Introduction to the Portfolio - why you are writing this and what it will be used for.

3. A generic definition and explanation of each element i.e C B R N E, the hazardsand risks from each and the effects to be expected from each.

4. Critically analyse the current CBRNE response resources and identify any issues or gaps, based on your specific site.

5. Critically analyse the current response procedures/arrangements and identify any issues or gaps, based on your specific site. You should structure this using the 9 key tasks methodology.

6. Identify and discuss the role and responsibilities of all responder agencies, that you would expect would respond to a confirmed CBRNE emergency.

7. Evaluate the current equipment and procedure for Mass Decontamination and identify any issues or gaps, based on your specific site.

8. Your recommendations for improvement and any approximate identified costs.

9. Conclusion
