Evaluatıon of the Duties And Preparatıons of Local Governments for Chemıcal Bıologıcal Radıoactıve Nuclear Hazards

Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to make recommendations by examining the work and preparations of local governments against Chemical, Biological, Radioactive and Nuclear hazards. The study was shaped in the light of the data obtained with the descriptive analysis method in accordance with the qualitative research paradigm. As a result of the research conducted specifically for the keywords Chemical, Biological, Radioactive and Nuclear, it was seen that public and private institutions operating in this field in our country decided on their own regulations and courses of action in line with the regulations and circulars of institutions such as AFAD, Turkish Atomic Energy Agency, Ministry of Health etc. Again, with this study, the preparations of the Fire Department operating within the body of local governments on CBRN were examined, and in this context, the adequacy and deficiencies of the field studies of the provinces that stood out on CBRN were seen. It was observed that the determination of the joint courses of action of the institutions in a possible CBRN incident and the applicability of the decisions taken were regularly checked with the Turkey Disaster Response Plan Exercise and the decisions and regulations were constantly updated with the evaluations made. It has been determined that the speed of joint work of institutions in disaster response is faster than in the face of CBRN incidents, and this disruption is due to the uncertainty process in determining the threat type and response method among institutions and delegating hot area authority.
