Archer, J., T. Boe, W. Calfee, P. Lemieux, L. Oudejans, M. Pirhalla, S. Shah, E. Silvestri, Joe Wood, AND S. Serre. Analysis for Coastal Operational Resiliency Wide Area Demonstration. Presented at WAD Visitor Day, Fort A.P. Hill, VA, May 10, 2022.
Impact/Purpose:
Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of inhalation anthrax, is one of the most highly studied biological threat agents. Significant gaps remain related to the remediation of a wide area following such biological release. This extends to the remediation of critical assets owned and operated by federal partners. This presentation provides an overview of the Analysis for Coastal Operational Resiliency (AnCOR) program, an interagency effort to assess and improve capabilities and strategic guidelines to prepare the U.S. for a wide-area release of a biological agent, including mitigating impacts to USCG facilities and assets. The presentation addresses all elements of a remediation effort with linkages from bench scale research to its application during the Wide Area Demonstration. Local, state and federal responders can benefit from this research with new information and tools to ensure community resilience to a wide area biological release that threatens public health and welfare.
