Need for better management of the CBRN menace and communications in times of crisis

Thought-provoking interview to Prof. Michele Nones, Vice President of Istituto Affari Internazionali, and representative of the Italian Cluster CBRN P3 (cbrnitalia.it), of which Associazione SAFE and various partners of the EU funded projects RESIST (https://project-resist.eu/) e TRANSTUN (https://transtun-project.eu/) – for increased preparedness and response towards CBRN events affecting EU Critical Infrastructures – are members.

The interview stresses the lack of preparedness that caught our government unprepared once more during the COVID-19 crisis. In particular, it does not only shed light on the need for better prevention, preparation and protection (P3) in relation to chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear events but also points to the need for more coordinated management of communications at the institutional level, especially in times like today when there are multiple and often contrasting sources of information which tend to heighten the uncertainty felt by the population.
