Annual CBRN Defense 2010

Enhancing and Developing Capabilities to Prevent, Protect, and Respond to Threats Against America

The consequences of a CBRN attack, coupled with the looming threat of terror, require an environment of suspicious alertness among federal, state, and local government. With growing concern about the intentions of foreign nations, the US is working to stop all threats from happening and making sure we are prepared and adequately trained for the worst case scenarios. Over eleven billion dollars is spent annually on CBRN prevention, detection, training and preparedness. The CBRN threat is calling for a greater advancement in technology, preparedness and agency coordination.
