SESSION 1

(Building F - GROUND FLOOR - F, Fl. 0)

(Room S.1)

Subsequent to a Chemical, Biological, Radiological or Nuclear event, whether intentional or not, the importance of a rapid and correct response by the emergency management team is vital, in order to reduce the magnitude of the effects to a minimum and to save lives. The correct response in such a crisis can only be achieved by following previously defined and well-rehearsed standard operating procedures, and a prompt and correct communication flow at both the strategic and operational levels. A well-defined command and control workflow is the best basis for good management of such an emergency, both from a civilian and military standpoint, thus highlighting the duality approach in such an event.
