Publisher's Synopsis
Sound training, robust emergency response plans, and efficient on-scene procedures form the basis for effective front-line defense against a chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear (CBRN) threat or hazard. The Jane's CBRN Response Handbook provides the most comprehensive single-source instruction for professional first-responders and anyone involved in responding to a CBRN-related incident. As an expansion of the highly popular JaneÆs Chem-Bio Handbook that has become the standard among first-responders, this manual features new material on radiological responses. Organized to facilitate usability in the field, this handbook includes in-depth information on pre-incident planning, on-scene procedures, and post-incident management in line with current practices. It includes the latest information on chemical, biological, and radiological agents and their respective treatments. The Jane's CBRN Response Handbook is an indispensible one-stop reference for first responders and emergency planners for use both in training and in the field.
