Abstract

The expert article deals with CBRN threats in the Czech Republic and reflects on the current preparedness for handling adverse CBRN incidents, accidents and attacks. Despite the fact that attention is paid to the areas of prevention, preparedness and protection against CBRN substances and materials and so-called type plans for the Integrated Rescue System are prepared, there are still areas that need to be improved. One of the significant and important management tools is the national strategy and national action plan for the fight against CBRN terrorism. Although many developed countries have such documents ready (for example, Canada already in 2011), the Czech Republic unfortunately does not. The authors of the professional article dwell on this fundamental shortcoming and discuss various safety issues of the given issue. Last but not least, the authors present a possible solution to the given situation using verified foreign
models.
