  1. PRACTICE Preparedness and Resilience against CBRN Terrorism using Integrated Concepts and Equipment Project coordinator Gino Sahovic, PhD. Director of the European CBRNE Centre, Umeå University, Sweden

  2. Fp7 2010 Call IP Topic 1) to integrate capabilities and to develop a system of tools and methods to improve and coordinate operational reaction following the occurrence of the event 2) to develop information and training kits to the public and to specific audiences envisaged before (preparedness) and after the event (response). The system includes early warning systems, isolation, shielding, decontamination, medical counter-measures etc. a complete toolbox to be used by public authorities in charge of crisis management (incl. health authorities). It should lead to an integrated European approach to CBRN crisis. It should provide and demonstrate significant improvements with the existing fragmented situation and significantly improve the resilience of the European Union PRACTICE

  4. PRACTICE Project Data Project Number: 261728 Project Type: Integrated Project IP Total Cost:€ 11 696 072 EU Contribution: €8 424 029 Starting Date: 01/05/2011 Duration:42 Months, until 30/11/2014 Reports due: T1231/05/2012 T24 31/05/2013 T42 31/11/2014 PRACTICE

  5. PRACTICE Objectives The objective of PRACTICE project is to improve the preparedness and resilience of the EU member states and associated countries. The project will develop a new toolbox focusing on 1) identification, organization and establishment of knowledge of critical elements in the event structure thorough studies of a wide selection of scenarios, real incidents and exercises and 2) analysis and identification of gaps in the current response situation and organization and integration of the allocated response capabilities or functions in a toolbox of equipment, procedures and methods and 3) an allocated system or kit for public information, decision-support, first-responder training and exercisers. PRACTICE

  6. PRACTICE Concept These response capabilities and functionsare to a great extent universal in character and independent of national organizational structures. PRACTICE will become a flexible and integrated system for coordinated response to CBRN attack, which is adaptableto various national contexts. The final concept and integrated response system (toolbox) and subsystems will be tested and validated. A whole system will be shown and tested in the final phases of the project. PRACTICE

  7. PRACTICE Result PRACTICE toolbox – a software/hardware system of tools, methods and procedures providing EU with the capability to carry out a truly integrated and coordinated operational reaction as response to a CBRN event Based on a comprehensive array of event characteristic parameters and response capabilities or functions • Not dependent on geographical, political, organizational, ethnical and cultural differences PRACTICE

  8. PRACTICE Toolbox Contents Web based Information system (database) containing a catalogue of existing and innovative components. Integrates and interfaces • Static knowledge (maps, organizations, procedures, methods, and other slowly evolving knowledge) • Dynamic knowledge (fast evolving parameters, sensor information, intelligence, real time information) • Planning and simulation tools • Visualization (GUI) • Decision support PRACTICE

  9. Characteristics Generic in character • Contain and link all elements (event characteristic parameters, functions, technologies, responders, responding organizations) Easily adaptable by user to serve different geographical and national needs • Threat • Organization (local addresses, phone numbers…) • Technology (existing, developed in PRACTICE and later) PRACTICE

  10. PRACTICE Users The public – Controlled Wiki • Open access, basic information Consumer guide for planners • Assist in knowledge on what is needed in terms of technology, training etc. to reach a certain capability Gap identifier for the industry • What capabilities need to be developed Responders in CBRN events • Restricted access, adapted to each context PRACTICE

  11. New components New… V0 V1 New knowledge New sensors / hardware New access to infos New interfacing New simulations tools New software … PRACTICE

  12. PRACTICE

  13. DEMO links “an extended information system should exist and should be accessible upon request. This will consist of scientific information on the individual threats incorporating similar events that have occurred in the past” “A system for preparedness interactions with the public… …include balanced information about the progress of rescue event or needed instructions about shutting ventilation or upcoming evacuations” PRACTICE

  14. Problems / Questions? Project sequence • Capability - IP – Demo How to link to other projects? • Partners are indeed linked to most initiatives, but it does not mean consortium is. How to link project results? • There is an obvious risk for duplication… Who has the responsibility to make it work? • Commission? Ourselves? Demo? Laissez faire? PRACTICE
