About

This webinar is about handling major incidents involving CBRNE, which stands for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive threats. It describes how emergency responders should prepare and act in these dangerous situations to keep people safe. It looks at recent advances and gaps impacting casualty treatment, medical operations, and decontamination operations. The goal is to help responders learn the best practices for dealing with such emergencies effectively while ensuring their own safety as well as the safety of others involved in or near the incident area.
