Protecting People Against Terrorist Attacks: Chemical, Biological, and Radiological (CBR) Threat Protection

As contaminated air infiltrates a safe room, the level of protection to the occupants diminishes which can result in injury or death. This interactive online course teaches you how to add CBR protection capability to a shelter or safe room. You will learn about the design of shelters and how they are used to protect against chemical, biological, and radiological, and explosive (CBRE) attacks.  Fallout shelters that are designed to protect against the effects of a nuclear weapon attack are not addressed in this course.   This course will guide you through the process of designing a shelter to protect against CBRE attacks. The intent of this course is not to mandate the construction of shelters for CBRE events, but rather to provide design guidance for professionals who wish to design and build such shelters.
