Non-Conventional Threat: 3 - 6 September 2012 CBRNe Asia 2012 Bangkok, Thailand 3-6 September, Bangkok


To make this world a safer and more secure place


Welcome to NCT: CBRNe Asia 2012

Distinguished Colleagues, It gives me great pleasure to welcome such a diverse and respected group of military, industry and government leaders to this inaugural Non-Conventional Threat: CBRNe Asia 2012 Conference, Exhibition & Exercise. Thailand has long recognised the need to take action against the security threats and challenges faced by ASEAN nations. We are very proud to host such an esteemed gathering of military and government speakers and international delegations in Thailand to network and strengthen CBRNe security. Providing our first responder networks with the most advanced equipment and training for countering the CBRNe threat is a complex and highly challenging undertaking. It is essential that we ensure we are prepared to face both current and future threats and to support our forces in all their various tasks. On behalf of the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, the principle government agency for disaster management of the Kingdom of Thailand, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Non-Conventional Threat: CBRNe Asia 2012 where we will address these important issues and work towards strengthening our resilience and capabilities in this complex and challenging arena. Yours sincerely,

Introducing the Non-Conventional NON-CONVENTIONAL: 1. not bound by traditional ways or beliefs 2. not established by accepted usage or general agreement 3. non-traditional a nonconventional lifestyle 4. (Military) (of weapons, warfare, etc.) nuclear or chemical Threats to society are nothing new. Actors threatening society have always innovated and found new ways to harm us. However, recent developments of new, nonconventional threats have taken a more devastating and potentially catastrophic direction. The terrorist attacks in Tokyo (1995), New York (2001), Madrid (2004) and London (2005) have proven international cities and capitals to be terrorist targets. The danger of terrorist attacks using CBRN-means, which are Chemical, Biological, Radiological or Nuclear, is often underestimated. However, man made threats are not the only issue, pandemic outbreaks, accidents and other incidents involving dangerous substances and use of CBRN agents by state parties, all form a danger to society and pose challenges for first responders. Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and explosives (CBRNe) is a relatively new concept used to refer to incidents or weapons involving any of these five hazards. In our view, non-conventional threats comprise manmade hazards which are novel in their source, use or in their impact. It includes cyber terrorism and CBRN but also armed attacks and explosives, if the source, use, or impact is novel. IB Consultancy is committed to support society in prevention, preparation and response. The Non-Conventional Threat (NCT): CBRNe Asia 2012, focusses on one important element of this matrix: the challenges presented by CBRNe agents. Before the acronym CBRN became commonplace, the term NBC (Nuclear, Biological and Chemical) was used to address these types of weapons and their countermeasures, albeit mostly in a military setting. In the military context the risk of radiological weapons was not perceived as very high or likely. Some state actors did experiment with the radiological concept, but no serious programmes are currently known about. The radiological threat became much more

4


Threat: CBRN Asia 2012 relevant when terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda started to express an interest in the CBRN arena. Radiological weapons, for instance, lend themselves perfectly to spreading fear and long-term contamination of buildings and entire areas, giving rise to the new acronym - CBRN. The addition of ‘e’ for explosives is the latest extension of the acronym. It reflects a trend in counterterrorism, where professionals dealing with CBRN and explosives are increasingly joining forces and operating under a common umbrella. This applies equally to Explosive Ordnance Disposal Service teams who would most likely be required to address the use of possible CBRN agents. Policy makers and managers of high-risk infrastructure are also required to explore comprehensive response strategies: hence CBRNe. Although CBRNe Terrorism is considered a low incidence threat, a successful attack would have a catastrophic impact; creating massive disruption; posing a clear challenge to large-scale public health and safety with the potential for a wide-spread effect upon global economic and political stability. The risk of CBRNe Terrorism is constantly changing but it is commonly considered the worst-case scenario of all terrorist attacks. Due to the complex nature of CBRNe prevention and response, a multi-layered approach, involving international and national organisations, publicprivate partnerships, and coordinated actions at all levels is vital. NCT: CBRNe Asia 2012 connects experts from across the globe to share information, exchange experiences on best practices and explore cutting edge technology and products to better prevent and respond to CBRNe Terrorism. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for being here and contributing to NCT: CBRNe Asia 2012 and look forward to speaking with you during this important international event. On behalf of The Non-Conventional Threat: CBRNe Asia 2012 Team, Ilja M. Bonsen and Daniel Levy

Practical Bangkok Getting around in Bangkok Bangkok’s traffic is notorious - with good reason. It’s very easy to get caught up in gridlock at any time of the day or night, and waste a lot of valuable time in the process. However, with excellent and modern public transport systems in place, Bangkok is surprisingly easy to navigate your way around. The Skytrain (BTS) and underground (MRT) rail systems connect the main shopping, entertainment and business areas of the city, while river taxis and express boats can be used to explore many historic sites and attractions at the riverside. Taxis are cheap by international standards and appear on virtually every corner at almost any time. The flagfall rate for taxis is 35B (0.85 US$ approx) including the first 2km and it’s 5B/km after that. Tuk-tuks, once a big

Currency The currency of Thailand is the Baht - sometimes spelled Bath but pronounced to rhyme with hot. Major credit cards such as Visa, Mastercard and American Express are accepted by hotels and large shops, but hard cash is the preferred tender almost everywhere. Travellers’ cheques are not widely accepted outside of hotels, so change them for cash at a bank exchange, which you’ll find in any and every tourist destination. Coins come in six denominations: 25 and 50-Satang coins are very small and made of brass. As a tourist you’re unlikely to encounter them unless you shop at a supermarket or department store. The other coins come in one, two, five and ten-Baht pieces. Bills come in six denominations as well: 10-Baht, 20-Baht, 50-Baht, 100Baht, 500-Baht, and 1,000-Baht. The exchange rate is subject to daily changes please refer back to your own bank for the up-to-date conversion rate and other fees. The current exchange rate is approximately 1 EUR / 41.5 BHT, 1 USD / 31.4 BHT and 1 GBP / 48.5 BHT.
