Medical Management of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive (CBRNE) Events - PER 211
This course provides a strong emphasis in developing a multi-discipline, whole-community team approach to planning, preparing, responding, managing and recovering from an event involving Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear or Explosive (CBRNE) agents, a coordinated complex terrorist attack (CCTA), or an active shooter/hostile event (ASHE). To reinforce this multi-discipline team approach, participants should optimally be from fire services, law enforcement, Emergency Medical Services (EMS)/hospital, public health, public works, and emergency management organizations.
