The threat of pandemic disease, mass casualty events or terrorist use of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high explosive (CBRNE) weapons of mass destruction (WMD) have created a complex operational environment across the spectrum of the National medical community—from first responders providing initial support to an affected population, all the way up to strategic-level planners formulating the response strategies for federal, state and regional planning teams. This conference will bring together the leading experts in the field of medical planning and consequence management in order to help Federal, state, local and private stakeholders become better informed, and ultimately help shape their organization’s role in the medical consequence management mission through a thorough discussion of recent events and what responders and medical experts learned from their experiences in the field.
