INCLUDING

(Innovative Cluster for Radiological and Nuclear Emergencies)

Network

INCLUDING aims at creating a long-lasting cluster of practitioners, decision and policymakers in the RN domain, interacting together and with technology suppliers and academia. The project steadily manages the link with other EU completed and ongoing projects, and with existing clusters to optimize the cross-fertilization with the exchange of expertise, knowledge and resources.

PReparedness against CBRNE threats through cOmmon Approaches between security praCTItioners and the VulnerablE civil society (PROACTIVE)

Chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) risks represent a major concern for the EU. The role of professionals can be reinforced by preparation and civil society engagement. The EU-funded PROACTIVE project will evaluate the response of security professionals such as law enforcement agencies (LEAs) to the demands of civil society comprising vulnerable citizens. The estimation of the effectiveness of existing procedures will lead to innovative proposals for policymakers and security professionals and will support the EU Action Plan for CBRN threats. The project aims to create innovative tools, including an information platform for LEA use and a mobile app tailored to meet the needs of vulnerable groups.

  1. IDENTIFY behavioral issues associated with responding to a CBRNe incident and potential shortcomings in existing practitioner procedures and tools with respect to vulnerable groups.
  2. IMPROVE real-time communication and collaboration with the use of new tools such as mobile apps for better situational awareness and better response coordination.
  3. TEST combinations of selected tools in joint field exercises which deliberately involve a diverse population that encompasses vulnerable citizens and non-trained staff.
  4. PROVIDE human-centred recommendations for EU standards concerning the integration of CBRNe technologies and innovations that are better adapted to the needs of all citizens.
