Unfortunately, the risk of biological and chemical related attack or accident is now with us and is a real threat. As a result, it is essential that all responsible organizations embrace these possibilities and include requisite steps and information in their emergency planning documentation.
Again, however, to respond properly it is important to understand the nature of these threats. How are the substances produced? How are they delivered? How are they diagnosed, treated, transmitted, etc.
All this information and much more is included in the Bio-Chemical Information Kit (which of course is included in the Emergency Management Toolkit). This comprises an MS-Word document, covering both the biological and chemical threats.
BIOLOGICAL THREATS
The document introduces the threat in detail. It then explains each of the main agents - their background, incubation period, symptoms, how they are transmitted and so on.
The agents covered include: Anthrax (Bacillus anthracis), Botulism Toxin (Clostridium botulinum toxin), Plague (Yersinia pestic), Small pox (avriola major), Tularemia (Francisella tularensis), Ebola fever (filoviruses), Marburg (hemorrhagic fever), Meliodosis (Pseudomonas pseudomallei), Q Fever (Coxiella burnetii), Rican, Brucellosis (Brucella melitensis), Cholera (Vibrio cholera), Clostridium Perfringens (clostridial myonecrosis), Congo-Crimean (Hemorrhagic Fever), Rift Valley Fever, Saxitoxin, Staphyloccal Enterotixon (Staphylococcus aureus), Trichothecene Mycotoxins and Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis.
To demonstrate the depth and detail included we have re-produced a small number of sample pages covering biological agents:

CHEMICAL THREATS
The document also introduces the chemical threat in similar detail. It explains each of the main agent types - their background, effects and so on.
The agents types covered include Nerve Agents [GA (Tabun), GB (Sarin), GD (Soman), GF and VX (Methylphoshonothioic Acid)], HN – Nitrogen Mustard, L – Lewisite, CX – Phosgene Oximine], Blister Agents [HD – Sulphur Mustards (Yperite) and Choking Agents [CG Phosgene, DP Diphosgene, Cl Chlorine, PS Chloropicrin].
Everything is presented in plain language, with clear explanation and description.
To demonstrate the depth and detail included we have re-produced a couple of sample pages covering chemical agents:
