  • Knowledge and expertise at national, regional and international level
  • Fragmentation of responsibilities:

Non-State-Actors can take advantage of this situation when trying to acquire CBRN material or expertise.

  • Coordination and preparedness can be improved further:

An incoherent response broadens the impact of a CBRN incident.
