Three key outputs:-
1️⃣ a new data set of European standards and background information overseen by the Székely Family & Co.
2️⃣ creation of a new European CBRNe Information Group by The Crisis Management Innovation Network (CMINE) and
3️⃣ final preparation of the under the guidance of the Insight Research Center of the University of Galway - it’s a software platform that presents curated (assured) information and data as well as a VR environment in which to train.

The meeting started with the coming together of the 19 projects that currently form the Cluster of CBRNe and Standardisation projects known as with lots of discussions about how we can better support each other and our R&I sponsors.

If you’re looking for innovation in Disaster Risk Reduction, this is a really good example!

This Summer we delivered a series of workshops at hosted by NCEC - National Chemical Emergency Centre.

The workshpops focused on responder exposure to modern Chemical Warfare Nerve Agents such as the Novichoks. Experts spoke about the risk, effects and approach to decontamination currently being adopted.
This led to some great debate about whether all lessons had been learned following the events at Salisbury more over 5 years ago and whether the processes available to UK responders allow them to react quickly enough to new technology and changes in scientific advice.

It was a superb event and we have every hope that it will continue to be supported by responder agencies and increasingly attract police, health and fire practitioners.

The first cadre of the biggest team The Resilience Advisors Network has ever put together meet today in Tbilisi.
For the next year we’re supporting capacity building (policy, training and development) for the Emergency Management Service of the wonderful country of Georgia 🇬🇪.

30 of the best international policy builders, practitioners and trainers in the world from 11 European Countries will be working on the mission. We can’t wait to get the project underway 😊

First jobs this week include meeting the Georgian team, visiting fire stations & operational bases and starting an assessment of the training system, volunteering opportunities and the national emergency dispatch process.

If we’re very lucky, there just might be a brief moment where the team can sample a little of the local culture as well 🥩 🍷 🕺
