3rd Stakeholder Workshop and live First Responder CBRN Preparedness and Resilience training kit validation exercise

Date: 6–7 May 2014

Venue: College of the Swedish Contingency Agency, Sandö (near Kramfors), Sweden

The PRACTICE Consortium invites crisis management planners, first responder leaders, policy makers and government officials to join the third PRACTICE Stakeholder Workshop, which will take place on 6–7 May 2014 on the premises of the MSB College Sandö (near Kramfors) in Sweden. The workshop will focus on the usefulness of the PRACTICE Toolbox for planning and training purposes, and is combined with a live exercise that evaluates the PRACTICE training kit for First Responder CBRN Preparedness and Resilience.

In addition to the PRACTICE exercise and workshop you have the opportunity to observe an inter-sectoral cooperation training exercise with 160 participants from police, ambulance and rescue services from Northern Sweden. This exercise is taking place on 8 May and represents an innovative way of co-training for mixed First Responders, which was developed during the EU REGIO project Nordic Safety and Security (NSS).

A number of bursaries is available to assist with travel costs.

Fly either to Kramfors Airport or to Sundsvall Airport (ca. 1 h ground transport) alternatively take the train. Transfer to and from Sandö will be arranged. Accommodation is available on site. More detailed travel information will be provided upon registration (register-practice.astripolska.com.pl). REGISTER by 11 April 2014!!!
