What action should be taken to establish a CBRN response structure?

Establishing a CBRN response structure is crucial in effectively managing and responding to chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear incidents. Activating a CBRN cell serves as a command-and-control element that coordinates the various components involved in the response. This cell is responsible for assessing the situation, organizing resources, coordinating communication, and facilitating decision-making.

This initial setup ensures that all necessary operations, including detection, sampling, and medical response, are properly organized under a unified structure, enabling a more efficient and systematic approach to addressing CBRN threats. Thus, establishing and activating a CBRN cell is fundamental to providing a solid foundation for all subsequent actions that need to follow in a structured response to a CBRN incident.
