Amid threats and incidents targeting civilians, countries around the world are investing in strengthening their CBRN-E capabilities. In most cases, first responder teams are not specifically trained or adequately equipped to face the type of hazard, provide assistance to victims, and follow the decontamination processes that a CBRN-E incident implies. At the same time, resources are limited, exercises and training are muted on the organization, best practices and digital tools are lacking. The TeamUP project addresses these challenges by creating a unified framework for evaluating capabilities, procedures and co-developed solutions to be used in CBRN-E preparedness and response.
Project implementation began on January 1, 2024.
