Description

The 2001 anthrax attacks in the U.S. highlighted the need to develop response plans and capabilities to protect U.S. citizens from chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) agents. Since 2004, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has spent at least $70 million developing more than 20 CBRN risk assessments. This report assessed, from FY 2004 to January 2012, the extent to which DHS has used its CBRN risk assessment to inform CBRN response plans and CBRN capabilities, and has institutionalized their use. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand edition of an important, hard-to-find report.
