Last weekend's contingency plans for a chemical terrorist attack showed glaring errors, according to a disaster management expert Jeff Charlton of cbr-response said the police and emergency services were unprepared for a real life attack. He said: "The photos published in the press show the first responders wearing equipment the wrong way round, and one showed a police officer with a level C suit inspecting for gas when he should have been wearing level A to protect him if he found it."
According to Charlton, unless sensible contingency plans are put in place, the cost of building decontamination, which in the US reached between $24m and $32m for just two anthrax letters, many properties could become unsalvageable.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
