The fully revised second edition incorporates current best practices, new and evolving threats, and lessons learned from major events that have occurred over the past 10 years. New chapters discuss public affairs and crisis communication, CBRN forensics and investigations, and social, behavioral, and psychological issues related to crowd behavior and CBRN responders. More than a dozen all-new practical scenarios address various incidents such as radiological attacks, pandemic illness, industrial chemical accidents, and attacks with biological warfare agents.
