Mall Security and CBRN Threats, Mitigating Vulnerabilities.
The safety and security of shopping malls are of utmost importance to ensure business continuity and protect the general public.
However, the emergence of Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) threats poses a significant challenge to the shopping malls. CBRN agents can cause mass destruction, loss of lives, and economic instability.
The MALL-CBRN project aims to address these challenges by developing prevention, response, and consequence management mechanisms to prepare shopping malls in cases of CBRN events.
This project is crucial in protecting the public and ensuring the continuity of mall businesses in the face of emerging threats.
