PROACTIVE Pre-Incident Public Information Materials for CBRNe Incidents

The EU-funded project PROACTIVE, which is coordinated by the UIC Security Division, has published public awareness materials of relevance for railway security in the case of CBRNe (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and explosive) incidents. Based on a railway scenario, the materials describe the protective actions which members of the general public could take if such an event were to occur. The materials were co-created together between PROACTIVE consortium researchers, the public at large and CBRNe practitioners. As such, the PROACTIVE Pre-Incident Public Information Materials for CBRNe Incidents could be used by the railways to educate both the public and staff about this important topic, potentially reducing the impact of such incidents and even saving lives. As an open resource, they can be further adapted by railway stakeholders to better meet their local contexts.
