The PathoCERT project aims at strengthening the coordination capability of the first responders in handling waterborne pathogen contamination events. This will increase the first responder’s capabilities, allowing the following:
1. rapid and accurate detection of pathogens,
2. improving their situational awareness, and
3. improving their ability to control and mitigate emergency situations involving waterborne pathogens.
To achieve this objective, the project will research and demonstrate Pathogen Contamination Emergency Response Technologies (PathoCERT), a collection of novel, cost-effective and easy-to-use technologies, tools and guidelines, which will be field-validated by the first responders.
