Free Capability Calculators Available!

CNA's Safety and Security Division recently added two new capability calculators to the website: Weapons of Mass Destruction/Hazardous Materials (WMD/HAZMAT) Response and Public Safety and Security Response. Both calculators are free and available for download, along with the accompanying documentation and technical guides.

The WMD/HAZMAT Response tool helps jurisdictional planners to estimate the number of WMD/HAZMAT teams that their jurisdiction needs, as well as the associated initial and annual costs. These teams have the ability to respond to and contain spills and releases of hazardous materials and to provide decontamination capabilities to people and equipment.

The Public Safety and Security tool helps jurisdictional planners to estimate the number of Crowd Control and Perimeter/Checkpoint teams required for an event or emergency response situation, as well as the associated initial and annual costs. These teams provide access control, traffic direction and enforcement, police presence, and mass arrest capabilities.
