CBRN CoE P106

CBRN Table top and field Exercises, Simulations, Training (TEST) to mitigate risks

​

Context

The inadequate control over high-risk chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) materials that pose a danger to the security of populations, especially to people living in vulnerable situations and to the environment, continues to raise serious concern in all the countries targeted by the EU chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear risk mitigation program. In a globalized world characterised by rapid and extensive circulation of persons and goods, cooperation in this field is crucial. The project aims at building on the previous successes of the CBRN Centres of Excellence initiative by strengthening the skills acquired in previous projects and enhancing the participants knowledge with different types of equipment and scenarios. 

 

Overall objective

The project is aimed at improving the preparedness, detection of, response and mitigation against risks related to CBRN materials and associated installations or sites in Partner Countries (PC) as well as to enhance cooperation among CBRN stakeholders. The project will have an on-demand format in which PCs will be able to request assistance based on the needs identified by the project team in a bottom-up context analysis.

​

Specific objectives

1. Enhance capacities of PCs to establish and/or enhance the CBRN risk mitigation and security governance

2. Facilitate the strengthening of cooperation in CBRN risk mitigation area among CoE PCs intra- and inter-regionally for exchanging best practices and lessons learned

3. Increase the capacity of PCs to address safety and security challenges related to CBRN threats

 

Activities

1. Planning exercises based on the requests received by the CBRN CoE PCs

2. Drafting of scenarios tackling the most typical incidents in C, B and RN

3. Organising preparatory meetings with the partner countries’ exercise planning team

4. Organising different types of exercises such as table top, command post and field exercises

5. Supporting the training of local experts identified by partner countries 

 

Expected outcomes

• Identify knowledge and capacity gaps in partner countries 

• Foster cooperation among different actors 

• Improve the preparedness, detection of, response and mitigation for risks related to CBRN materials 

• Increase capacity of PCs to operate equipment purchased through EU-funded projects
