This Project is partially funded under the European Community's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7 2007-2013), Grant Agreement 261693.

A Major initiative on CBRN Preparedness & Response

2 12/03/2014

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

The challenge: fragmented preparedness & response to CBRN threats

4 12/03/2014

National, regional and local authorities lack common CBRN doctrines & SOPs to coordinate preparation and response effectively Numerous independent systems co-exist with little or no interoperability in CBRN preparedness, planning, exercising, response and recovery Knowledge, processes and systems in CBRN incident management are fragmented across agencies and member states

An overall approach to CRBN preparedness and resilience

• The comprehensive

CATO Toolbox addresses the needs

• f all stakeholders

with flexibility and innovation

• The CATO Decision

Support System architecture focuses

• n users and
• rganisational

learning

The CATO Toolbox

8 12/03/2014

• Two types of generic user interfaces - Operational User Interface

and the General Public Interface

User interface

• Core Applications guide the users in the main usage situations -

Planning, Simulation, Response and Debriefing

Core

• DSS can be parameterised with templates for entities, procedures,

algorithms, scenarios and plans in the CATO Knowledge Base

Knowledge Base

• Algorithms tailored to the requirements of specific users and

evolve over time

Algorithms

• Interaction with the systems of the different involved agencies and

the different public media

System interfaces

Shortest passenger cordon around Liverpool Street Station

Example: Cordon Algorithm I

 Cordon calculation output:

• Minimal barrier points at street crossing preventing cars to enter
• Shortest tight cordon along streets covering all road blocking points

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

15 12/03/2014

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

16 12/03/2014

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
• Invitations to the project major events
• Open to organisations in CBRN preparedness, planning,

exercising, response, recovery …
