Download or read book Combating Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear Terrorism written by Frank J. Cilluffo and published by CSIS. This book was released on 2001 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States currently lacks a comprehensive strategy for countering the threat of terrorism involving nuclear, radiological, chemical, and-most glaringly -- biological weapons. Although federal, state, and local governments have made impressive strides to prepare for terrorism involving these weapons, the whole remains less than the sum of the parts. As a result, the United States is now at a crossroads. Although credit must be given where due, the time has come for a cold-eyed assessment and evaluation based on program reviews and other measures of effectiveness. This report offers such an assessment, providing a road map of near- and long-term priorities for senior federal officials to marshal federal, state, local, private sector, and nongovernmental resources for defending the U.S. homeland against chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) terrorism.

Download or read book Small scale Terrorist Attacks Using Chemical and Biological Agents written by Dana A. Shea and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2005 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a means of assessing the relative threat from terrorist-use of individual chemical, biological, and toxin agents. It focuses on small-scale, targeted chemical and biological attacks, rather than mass-casualty attacks. The framework considers the elements of access, public health impact, medical treatment, prophylaxis, and dissemination. Other factors that may affect potential use by terrorists include the range of lethality, covert employment of an agent, and the availability of dual-use technologies. The results of this book may be useful in addressing the threat these agents pose, for example by indicating priorities for countermeasure funding. Other uses include weighing the potential effectiveness of policy options, assessing threat reduction approaches to specific agents, and serving as a resource for developing other specialised frameworks.

Download or read book Individual Preparedness and Response to Chemical Radiological Nuclear and Biological Terrorist Attacks written by Lynn E. Davis and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2003-09-05 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individuals may have to rely on themselves to protect their own health and safety--perhaps even their own lives--in the event of a terrorist attack. Even those who know how to take care of themselves in the event of a fire, tornado, or earthquake might not know what to do in case of a chemical, radiological, nuclear, or biological attack. This quick guide attempts to fill in some of these gaps by offering specific actions to take during each of these situations, as well as preparations that can be taken. These actions are appropriate regardless of the likelihood of an attack, its scale, or the current government alert level; are designed to be sensitive to potential variations; and have been defined in terms of simple rules that should be easy to follow. A reference card included at the back of the guide encapsulates the key points and can be removed for display in a prominent place.
Download or read book Survival Handbook for Chemical Biological and Radiological Terrorism written by Elizabeth Terry and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR PROTECTION AGAINST CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL, AND RADIOLOGICAL TERRORISM The first few minutes after a chemical, biological or radiological (CBR) terrorist attack are the most critical, and actions can be taken to save lives. The first priority is to avoid or reduce exposure. Every minute wasted may cost lives, and it is unlikely that experts will be present immediately to advise.This book is written for individuals, families, security professionals, etc., to form the basis for the critical decisions necessary to save lives. The most important section is the Emergency Response Protocols, providing prioritized instructions for those caught in a CBR attack. The Handbook also provides information necessary to evaluate equipment available for CBR protection, including gas masks, personal filter masks, and air filters. The protective characteristics of equipment must be matched to the characteristics of CBR to ensure adequate protection. Attack indicators can serve as a first alert if the sights, sounds, scent, sensations or dissemination equipment are known and recognized. Guidelines for analyzing risk based on geographic location and international visibility, and for assessing vulnerabilities based on site characteristics and business profiles are presented. Protection of water supplies from CBR attack is addressed.

Download or read book National Security Intelligence and Ethics written by Seumas Miller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-07 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the ethical issues that arise as a result of national security intelligence collection and analysis. Powerful new technologies enable the collection, communication and analysis of national security data on an unprecedented scale. Data collection now plays a central role in intelligence practice, yet this development raises a host of ethical and national security problems, such as privacy; autonomy; threats to national security and democracy by foreign states; and accountability for liberal democracies. This volume provides a comprehensive set of in-depth ethical analyses of these problems by combining contributions from both ethics scholars and intelligence practitioners. It provides the reader with a practical understanding of relevant operations, the issues that they raise and analysis of how responses to these issues can be informed by a commitment to liberal democratic values. This combination of perspectives is crucial in providing an informed appreciation of ethical challenges that is also grounded in the realities of the practice of intelligence. This book will be of great interest to all students of intelligence studies, ethics, security studies, foreign policy and international relations.

Download or read book CBRN Security Culture in Practice written by J. Thompson and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2015-09-03 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evolving threats of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) attack make it imperative to find ways to support global efforts against the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and terrorism. This book contains papers presented at the NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) on CBRN security culture, held in Yerevan, Armenia, in June 2014. The conference was timely in bringing together the various aspects of security culture in the different substantive areas from a CBRN perspective, focusing efforts to advance CBRN security culture in the everyday work of those who must deal with these ever present threats. The primary aim of the conference was to promote the concept of a CBRN security culture which recognizes synergy across the individual disciplines. As a first step in the practical application of this synergistic view, the conference introduced assessment methodologies that could be refined and customized to enhance the role of the human factor in CBRN security. This, we hope, will enable countries to fulfill their international obligations and implement United Nations Security Council Resolution 1540. The book reflects the presentations and deliberations of workshop participants and will be of interest to governments, international organizations, researchers and practitioners whose work involves the human dimension of the security of CBRN materials.
Download or read book Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear Terrorism The Threat According to the Current Unclassified Literature written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prospect of chemical, biological, radiological, and/or nuclear (CBRN) terrorism is recognized by the United States government as an acute security challenge. Particularly following the tragedy of September 11, 2001, but also for several years prior, senior U.S. officials and official government reports have underscored the likelihood, over time, of terrorist organizations coming into possession of such unconventional materials, and the prospect of their use against the United States homeland, U.S. forward-deployed forces, or U.S. friends and allies. Toward the end of the last century, this concern was heightened, among other events, by the Japanese cult Aum Shinrikyo's 1995 use of sarin in the Tokyo subway. The combination of increasing availability of technology and expertise, a perceived mass-casualty motive structure for particular terrorist organizations, the impending end of a millennium, a spate of conventional attacks against U.S. assets World Trade Center, 1993; Oklahoma City Federal Building, 1995; American embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, 1998; and the U.S.S. Cole, 2000 and both the widespread suspicion of terrorists seeking CBRN weapons and the actual sub-national employment of a chemical agent all contributed to this general assessment.
