Other than for a few specialist teams, CBRN-E is only one aspect of a busy responders life. Limited training and exercising time and even less frequent exposure to real events. Most likely their information will be coming from the Hazmat environment being scaled-up as necessary for the greater security implications of an intentional deployment of toxic agents.
For this reason, CBRN-E specialists within responder organisations need to have a ready and easy access to credible, current and reliable information about the equipment, training, guidance and standards that they should be referencing and deploying.
PEERS aims to provide just such a system. For any given CBRN discipline, a user should be able to enter a search term such as “dry decontamination” or “gas-tight”.
