BOOKS ON CBRNE

CBRNe Book Series

The CBRNe Book Series was born as an initiative of the Directive Board and of the Scientific Committee of “International Master Courses in Protection Against CBRNe events” (www.cbrngate.com) at the University of Rome Tor Vergata.

The evolution and increase in Security and Safety threats at an international level place remarkable focus on the improvement of the emergency systems to deal with crisis, including those connected to ordinary and non-conventional events (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and explosives). In every industrial Country there are multiple entities with specialized teams in very specific fields, but the complexity of the events requires professionals that not only have specific know-how, but also expertise in the entire relevant areas.

During the month of August, 2016, the Italian Minister for Instruction, University and Research (MIUR) has officially added this book series in the list of the official publications recognized by the Minister itself with the following references:

classification code: E237557;

title: CBRNE BOOK SERIES.

In 2020 we have opened a second CBRNe book series entitled " CBRNe & Beyond Conventional and non conventional emergencies: from research, education and training to the management and recovery of normality" published by TAB Edizioni.

Here we will report all the book collected.

26. CBRNe Threat. The Dual Use of Remotely Pilot Aircraft System

In the context of the CBRN threat, drones, considered by international and national legislations as real aircrafts, due to their versatility, availability, ease of modification and use, have attracted the attention of the author who has, in the present book, outlined and deepened both the possible applications in attacks by terrorist groups and the possible uses by the Police or other State apparatuses engaged in anti-terrorism action. Some European projects on the use of drones are reported.

25. B in CBRN and Something More

There are also fads in the type of topics that institutions set out to study. Now “Resilience” is going great, before the specter of a CBRN terrorist attack has long been at the center of discussions. Then comes Covid-19, then Russia invades Ukraine, and we realize that, in the face of the real facts of human history, often the words spoken have been spent in the wind and no effective preparations have been made. This short text focuses on the B of CBRN, trying to make it clear what an ugly beast it is and that Sars-Cov-2 was ultimately a domestic pet compared to other possible biological threats. We have to be prepared.

24. Future anti-terrorism and public health CBRNe scenarios. A comprehensive guide of central nervous system-active substances and precursors, their impact on the Chemical Weapon convention inspection regime and international security.

The study is aimed at focusing on the possible impact of the most widel-spread pharmacological substances active on the central nervous system and their precursors, on the Chemical Weapon Convention inspection regime and therefore on the industrial and commercial processes and their relative impact on international security.

23. Emergenze: i sistemi di comunicazione e di supporto alle decisioni. Le nuove tecnologie per soccorso, comando e controllo: l’esperienza del Corpo Nazionale dei Vigili del Fuoco

Le emergenze sono caratterizzate da una complessità gestionale intrinseca e dalla necessità di collaborazione tra molteplici interlocutori con competenze diverse. La continua evoluzione tecnologica nell’ambito dell’informatica e delle comunicazioni pone, inoltre, sfide costanti e impegnative, soprattutto in campo politico, sociale e umano, da affrontare utilizzando tutti gli strumenti utili e sfruttando a pieno ogni risorsa. Il libro prende in esame le innovazioni tecnologiche applicabili alla gestione di emergenze e di operazioni di soccorso, focalizzandosi in particolare su informatica e telecomunicazioni, due ambiti strettamente connessi tra loro.

22. Social media emergency communication and crisis management during radiological and nuclear emergencies

The author touched on a very crucial topic in his book when he discusses the importance of communication as a part, not only of the larger counterterrorism and national security conversation, but also the daily use of such communications as a part of daily life by everyone. Mr Ibrahim simplified the view of Communication in Emergency and discussed the importance of Social media in communication and why it plays a vital role when considering setting up an emergency plan. Through the use of scenarios, Mr Ibrahim explains how it is not enough to use security measures alone to tackle organised criminals. He makes it clear in his book that it is essential to understand the underlying motivations of people and why they make the conscious decision to join a terrorist group. In the book the author expresses insights into the effective use of a dedicated media spokesperson during critical CBRN emergencies. It considers this role and responsibilities in depth. It looks at the skills and abilities required from people performing such roles given the sensitive nature of these events."
