Over the course of two days, this Symposium will host two panel discussions.

Day One: Local Response to CBRN Incident in Major U.S. City

Ensuring state and local law enforcement and first responders have the equipment, training, and information they need to protect their communities is necessary to effectively manage the potential impact. Protecting public transportation, ensuring robust information sharing between local, state, & federal entities, and prioritizing training and education are essential for effective CBRN incident response, defense, and mitigation.

Panelists:
Battalion Chief Timothy Rice - WMD Branch Director, New York City Fire Department
Chief William Swann - Director Chief, Nashville Fire Department/OEM
Capt. David Laub - Joint Hazard Assessment Team Leader, Los Angeles County Fire Department

Day Two: Utilizing Emerging Tech to Aid Response & Recovery in a CBRN Affected Dense Urban Environment

CBRN events can be devastating to highly complex, densely populated urban environments. To address present and future threats, this panel will highlight the challenges of operating in an urban environment and the implementation of innovative tech such as AI, ML, unmanned/autonomous platforms, and microsensors that can strengthen detection for CBRN releases.

Moderator: Marty Sikes - Associate Executive Director, Chemical & Biological Defense Programs, National Strategic Research Institute

Panelists:
Jonathan S. Ebbert - Division Chief & CWMD PM, National Guard Bureau-J39
Trina Vian - Technical Staff, MIT Lincoln Laboratory
Dr. Justine Johannes - Associate Laboratory Director, Global Security, Sandia National Laboratories
