This Project is partially funded under the European Community's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7 2007-2013), Grant Agreement 261693 . CATO CBRN crisis management, Architecture, Technologies & Operational procedures 12/03/2014 1
A Major initiative on CBRN Preparedness & Response FP7 Security Call (2009), awarded in 2011, started 01/01/2012 36 months € 15m budget, € 10m EC funding 25 partners forming a consortia of end users, academics, governments and supplier organisations A Community open to organisations from across Europe involved in CBRN preparedness, planning, exercising, response or recovery Coordination by NESS Technologies and Systems Group CATO aims at developing a comprehensive open toolbox for dealing with CBRN crises due to terrorist attacks using non-conventional weapons or on facilities with CBRN material 12/03/2014 2

The challenge: fragmented preparedness & response to CBRN threats National, regional and local authorities lack common CBRN doctrines & SOPs to coordinate preparation and response effectively Knowledge, processes and systems in CBRN incident management are fragmented across agencies and member states Numerous independent systems co-exist with little or no interoperability in CBRN preparedness, planning, exercising, response and recovery 12/03/2014 4
An overall approach to CRBN preparedness and resilience • The comprehensive Preparedness CATO Toolbox Integrated Decision & Management addresses the needs of all stakeholders Policy Incident Makers Coordinators with flexibility and Recovery innovation Integrated situation • CBRN expertise The CATO Decision assessment Support System architecture focuses on users and Detection organisational learning n s Response 12/03/2014 5
CATO key deliverables to date - 1 - • CATO Open Toolbox: first version available • CATO Lab V1: first integration of a virtual version 12/03/2014 6
CATO Decision Support Systems Built by combining CBRN expertise, planning & response know-how Operations officer, Expert, Supervisor, Trainer, First Responders, General Public, Healthcare Agencies, Administration External Organizations, Social Networks, Electronic media Models, Assessments, Optimization, Decision support Entities, Procedures, Algorithm Descriptions, 12/03/2014 7 Scenarios, Plans, Guidelines
The CATO Toolbox • Two types of generic user interfaces - Operational User Interface User interface and the General Public Interface • Core Applications guide the users in the main usage situations - Core Planning, Simulation, Response and Debriefing • DSS can be parameterised with templates for entities, procedures, Knowledge Base algorithms, scenarios and plans in the CATO Knowledge Base Algorithms • Algorithms tailored to the requirements of specific users and evolve over time • Interaction with the systems of the different involved agencies and System interfaces the different public media 12/03/2014 8

Learning about CBRN attacks: the CATO Laboratory The CATO Lab is both an example of a prototype implementation of a DSS using the CATO Toolbox and a tool for user dialogue Physical CATO Lab CATO equipped facility to support discussions between policy makers and senior incident commanders Virtual CATO Lab Used for simulation, training and demo purposes Accessed via the Internet (www.cato-project.eu) (for CATO Community members) “Trial” versions of technology components Designed to Encourage stakeholder feedback on work in progress, Provide a real capability for practitioners to execute CBRN exercises during the CATO project lifetime 12/03/2014 15
CATO key deliverables to date - 2 - • First CBRN response guidelines drafted Different stakeholder perspectives • policy and decision makers • incident commanders • first responders • health responders • communication strategists and public authorities • ethics Developed through interaction with stakeholders • C, B, R, N knowledge and guidelines fed into CATO Knowledge base 12/03/2014 16
Geared for impact • Toolbox being trialled in several responder agencies • Demonstrations scheduled with major EU bodies DG ENTR, DG ECHO (Emergency Response Coordination Centre) European Defence Agency … • Interactive events: Conferences, Workshops, Webinars • Active end-user and expert community of +250 end- users, subject matter experts, PDMs Membership in CATO community gives: • Access to the CATO Lab and other online resources • Inclusion in requirements capture and refinement processes www.cato-project.eu • Invitations to the project major events Open to organisations in CBRN preparedness, planning, exercising, response, recovery … 12/03/2014 17
An iterative development cycle Stakeholder & Expert Input • Requirements • CBRN knowledge • Communication & Human Behaviour • CBRN Scenarios, Models & Algorithms • CATO Guidelines (Plans & SOPs) Dissemination & Feedback Systems • MRDD Demo • CATO Core • CATO Laboratory • CATO User Interface • CATO Conferences • CATO Knowledge Base • User Advisory Group & User Workshops • CATO Algorithms • Best Practices • CATO System Interfaces • Training 12/03/2014 18
