Overview

Description

Over the past years, the threat of CBRN intentional attacks, technological accidents or natural hazards has led governments and international organisations to adopt far-reaching regulations and programmes to defend populations against the associated risks, while complementing national measures that address existing gaps and promote exchanges of information and best practices. 

To improve preparedness for CBRN events of deliberate, accidental or natural origin, eNOTICE-2 project will build on the identified gaps, needs and findings of the eNOTICE Network of Practitioners and focus on improvement of the overall preparedness and capability for responding quickly to major cross-border crises involving C, B or RN agents or a mixture thereof, engaging a broad range of stakeholders: CBRN practitioners - first responders, crisis managers, civil protection, training professionals, CBRN technology developers, policy makers, and volunteers from civilian population. 

eNOTICE-2 major results will be: new training modules - reviewed CBRN teaching courses, with up-to-date contents and adapted ways of learning information delivery to the trainees; continuously updated open-access digital library of CBRN resources containing relevant CBRN documents on best practices, procedures, glossaries, guidelines and policies with the focus on CBRN decontamination; methodology and development of synthetic operational data (safety/security data sheets, SDS); scenarios and VR/XR demo, focusing on harmonized procedures for decontamination; pan-EU pre-normative guideline for CBRN decontamination with special emphasis on decontamination of assistive devices for disabled people. 

The project will bring together multidisciplinary stakeholders during four simulation exercises to ensure cooperation, coordination, compatibility and complementarity between the actors, strengthen knowledge partnerships between civil protection, DRM actors, ensure cross-fertilization with R&D sector.
