Bullseye Workshop for First Line Responders (Warsaw, 19-21 February 2020)

From 19 until 21 February, 45 CBRNe experts and first responders gathered in Warsaw for the Bullseye Workshop for First-Line Responders. Police, emergency medical services and firefighters from Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, the Slovak Republic and Spain were present.

Starting from the findings of Bullseye’s gap analysis, the first responders discussed their own good practices and needs for the response to a chemical or biological attack. Furthermore, experts gave valuable insights from their real-life experiences with terrorism and CBRNe and there was a demonstration of personal protective equipment and detection equipment.

Based on two tabletop exercises, the international group drafted guidelines for a CBRNe attack. They focused on the first actions that police, emergency medical services, firefighters and civil protection can take in the response to a chemical or biological attack in order to save lives and protect themselves.
