As nations increase defense funding and expand industrial production capacity, one reality is becoming clearer: modern threats require stronger advanced chemical response readiness across military forces, emergency responders, hospitals, and industrial sectors. The European Parliament’s approval of its first-ever defense industry program—aimed at boosting continental manufacturing and rapid-response capability—illustrates a global shift toward addressing evolving… Continue reading How Global Defense Investments Signal a Growing Need for Advanced Chemical Response Readiness

Hospital Chemical Decontamination Readiness: Why Many Facilities Are Still Unprepared
Hospitals today face increasing risks from hazardous materials, chemical incidents, toxic industrial chemicals (TICs), and chemical warfare agents (CWAs). These events require specialized safety protocols, appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and established decontamination protocols to protect both staff and patients. Yet most facilities remain underprepared to manage a chemical release or mass chemical exposure during a mass casualty event. A recent report revealed that nearly 70% of hospitals are unprepared for chemical and biological emergencies. Additional research supports this trend: many emergency departments lack operational readiness for chemical emergency medical management or hospital patient decontamination.
Why Combined Wet and Dry Decontamination Is the New Gold Standard for Hospital Emergency Preparedness
Across Level 1 trauma centers in the U.S., Sweden, Canada, and Singapore, teams now deploy combined decontamination methods—a hybrid model proven to improve outcomes, optimize speed, and reduce risks from hazardous chemicals. This approach aligns with hospital emergency preparedness standards that prioritize rapid, safe, and patient-centered decontamination workflows.
FAST-ACT Expands Global Reach with Decontamination Tender Win in Croatia
FAST-ACT is proud to announce its recent success in securing a tender with the Ministry of Interior (MoI) in Croatia for specialized decontamination equipment.
The Shift Toward Dry Decontamination: Funding, Adoption, and the Future of CBRN Preparedness
In this blog, we’ll examine why dry decontamination is gaining momentum, highlight Europe’s leadership and funding efforts, and explore how global organizations—including FAST-ACT—are adopting these solutions to strengthen preparedness for CBRN threats. standard.
