Survey report: Preparedness and response to biological and chemical terror attacks in JA TERROR partner countries

An online survey targetingrepresentatives from three keysectors, health, security and civil protection, from all JATERROR partner countries was launched in May 2022 aimingto increase the knowledge of existing structures for cross-sectoral collaborationwithin the participating Member States and better understand the relative roles and responsibilities between public health, security and civil protection sectors (the two first specific objectives of WP6). The survey included questions on different preparedness and response cross-sectoral collaboration aspects (roles and responsibilities, existing structures and information sharing procedures), international aspects and perceived effectiveness of current structures and procedures.

A total of 33 surveys were collected from 14partner countries. Nine partner countries submitted replies from all three sectors’ surveys.
