Proceedings of the Conference on Defining the Attributes of a CBRN Human Response Model: Consensus Development, December 4-5, 2006

摘要

A human response model, also known as a casualty estimation model, is usually one component of a larger suite of models. For our purposes, the human response model is used to estimate the number of people who may be expected to require medical treatment, as well as the number of anticipated fatalities due to the insult over time resulting in personnel exposed to some event involving Chemical, Biological, Radiological, or Nuclear (CBRN) agents (or influenza). In December 2006, members of the civilian and military communities met to discuss the model attributes that should be considered for inclusion in a coordinated human response model-a single model for use by planners and responders at all levels (both military and civilian), so that every user can expect to get a similar answer for the same question. This paper summarizes the conversations during the conference and provides the applicable briefings.
