Increasing Confrontation- al Events • Greater social and political pres- sures can manifest into con- frontational events, with poten- tially violent results. • Along with this comes an increas- ing possibility of a CBRNE facet to the incident. • For example, a Facebook mailing facility in July 2019 received a sa- rin-related scare that ultimately proved to be a false alarm; howev- er, it forced first responders to react quickly and decisively af- ter the first preliminary positive test. • Events of this type mandate a unified response by proactive- ly engaging in partner agency joint training outreach well before the incident. • Integrate briefings, exercises and trainings at all possible op- portunities and develop camara- derie, cross-discipline knowl- edge and trust. 41
