Fire and resilience

---

Summary

We published two guidance documents in May 2004 to help a wide range of bodies with planning and decontamination of buildings and infrastructure following CBRN incidents - whatever the cause.

Both documents contribute to the continuing process of strengthening resilience through encouraging organisations to understand the issues and the part they have to play and to prepare accordingly. Partnership between organisations is seen as key to the effective response to an incident and rapid recovery from it.

Precautions to minimise effects of a CBRN event on buildings and infrastructure gives advice on pre-planning measures owners and managers can take to prevent contamination, to limit the spread of any contamination occurring, and to make decontamination easier. The guidance includes a checklist to help people to assess risk and vulnerability and to consider a wide range of potential improvement measures.
