5. Fp7 2010 Call IP Topic [The exam question] 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. 3) 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

8. 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 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 3) an allocated system or kit for public information, decision-support, first-responder training and exercisers.

12. 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

13. …and finally: we need help from you A key to the success of the Toolbox are the opinions and views of future users of the toolbox such as first-responders, crisis managers and technology developers. This is encouraged by having a number of workshops that will allow the input from selected stakeholders. Participation by other interested parties is encouraged and those interested can register at http://practice.fp7security.eu/events or emailing me at dominic.kelly@cbrneltd.com PRACTICE
