About this Book

Jane's Unconventional Weapons Response Handbook provides first responders with the pivotal information they need to recognise and respond to terrorist and criminal use of unconventional weapons. The detailed checklists and procedures outlined within the Handbook enable responders to plan for, respond to and recover from incidents involving unconventional threats, including the use of IEDs (improvised explosive devices), conventional military weapons, radiological weapons, lasers, radio frequency weapons or non-lethal weapons. Instruction covers a number of core areas, such as critical consideration of exclusion zone parameters, secondary devices (including command staff involvement in threats posed by secondary devices) and much more.
