In the conclusion to our series exploring the Aum Shinrikyo attacks on the Tokyo Subway, CBRNPro.net argues that medical facilities, like St. Luke's in Tokyo, are a main locus for CBRN incident response, even more so than incident scenes in many cases. Planning, coordination, and information management are key to solving the problems associated with CBRN incidents, and have wider application to mass casualty incidents.
In our second post in a series on the Aum Shinrikyo Sarin attack on the Tokyo Subway system we examine the points of failure during the the response to that attack, some lessons learned, and the uneven implementation of those lessons in the US and other countries.
March 2016 marked the 21st anniversary of the Aum Shinrikyo sarin attack on the Tokyo subway. This seminal event in the history of CBRN marked a major shift world wide toward a focus on CBRN terrorism and led to the creation of new groups, like the CST-WMD teams, to deal with it. Yet, most of what is "known" in the CBRN community about the attack, and what is printed in newspaper articles and books about the attack is inaccurate or wrong. CBRNPro.net examines what really happened in this first of a series of posts about the attack.
