  1. Åke Sellström Project Manager

  2. Vision …to become the Europe-leading center for research, training and education on major incidents involving Chemical, Biological, Radioactive, Nuclear and Explosive substances….

  3. Education • International Crisis and Conflict Management (with MSB) • CBRN university courses First responder education: • Police education • Police management training • Ambulance nursing and pre-hospital care

  4. Research Europe leading research in: • Microbiology and virology (VLL and UmU) • Environmental Chemistry (FOI and UmU) • B Diagnostics (NUS and UmU) • CBE Detection (FOI and UmU) • CBRNE Forensics (FOI) • MASH – Mass casualties following radio-active or chemical incidents • NSS – Co-ordination and strengthening of first responder education

  5. Training • Unique infrastructure • Security labs • Training field with permissions to use simulants • License to use dangerous materials • UN IAU inspector training course

  6. Nordic Security and Safety Coordinate and strengthen the education of: Police - Rescue - Healthcare EU Goal 2 - 62 milj SEK • Partners: • Luleå University of Technology • Norrlands University Hospital • CBRN Defence and Security Research • University of Umeå

  7. Nordic Security and Safety • WP 2 Strengthening of education • How to become more effective? • How to increase quality? • More academic. • Better in profession.

  8. Academic values Knowledge by quantity and quality. Independence. Critical thinking: - Towards knowledge. - Towards processes acquiring knowledge. Professional values Useful knowledge. Practice and theory. - Analytical attitude – towards problem - “Constant upgrading” - Practice based on sound scientific principles.

  9. Nordic Security and Safety • Working Packages: • WP 1 Coordination • WP 2 Strengthening of education • WP 3 Exercises as teaching methodology • WP 4 Crisis management • WP 5 Smart communication • WP 6 Technologies • WP 7 The crisis - a difficult working environment

  10. Mash Åke Sellström, coordinator of Mash, ake.sellstrom@cbrnecenter.eu

  11. Partners: The European CBRNE Centre, University of Umeå, Sweden; Bundeswehr Institute of Radiobiology InstRadBio Bw, Germany; Centro de Estudios e Investigaciones Técnicas de Guipúzcoa, CEIT, Spain; Health Protection Agency, HPA, United Kingdom; Karolinska Institutet, KI, Sweden; SAMU de Paris, Assistance Publique Hopitaux de Paris, SAMU, France ; Swedish Defence Research Agency, FOI, Sweden. Mash

  12. Scenarios (WP 4), FOI • Present practise following mass exposure to radioactivity (WP 5), InstRadBio Bw, • Present practise following mass exposure to toxic chemicals (WP 6), SAMU • Reviewing opportunities in biotechnology (WP 7), KI • Reviewing opportunities in ICT (WP 8), CEIT • Fore-sight of future European preparedness (WP 9), HPA • Coordination (WP 1 – 3), The European CBRNE Center Mash

  13. MASs-casualties and Health-care following the release of toxic chemicals or radioactive materials. • Mash was approved in May 2008. • € 800 000 was given to cover 60 % of costs. • Start April 2008 – end September 2010. Mash

  14. "The problem". Decontamination Triage First –Aid Diagnostics Long-Term Effects Hospital Care Protection of Health Care Personnel Mash

  15. C-Scenarios • Dispersion of persistent agent in urban area, (1). • Release of toxic industrial chemical in semi-closed area, (2). • Release of toxic industrial chemical in open space, (3). • Dispersion of unknown toxic liquid in enclosed area, (4). • R-Scenarios • Radiological dispersion outdoors, (5). • Improvised radiation device in public area, (6). Mash

  16. Dispersion of unknown toxic liquid in enclosed area, (4).

  17. Mash Improvised radiation device in public area, (6).

  18. MASH Some key elements of todays preparedness • Interoperability within EU • What are the present preparedness? • What is an acceptable base-line? • A military problem increasingly becoming a civilian problem? • Competence and tradition as yet military. • Modern civilian health care has no redundancy. • Introduction of modern developments (ICT, biotechnology). Mash

  19. Biotechnology • Review: • Present trends in field and laboratory diagnostics. • Methodology available in other fields. • Research in final stages. • Suggest: • Methods and/or procedurs to be introduced. Mash

  20. Information and Communication Technologies • Review: • Commercial trends for ICT applications • Military development • Research in final stages • Suggest: • Technologies and/or procedurs to be introduced. Mash

  21. The future… • More international partners • Masters in CBRNE forensics • Commercial training
