Project Argus
Project ARGUS is a National Counter Terrorism Security Office (NaCTSO) initiative, exploring ways to aid you in preventing, handling and recovering from a terrorist attack. It achieves this by taking businesses through a simulated terrorist attack. The simulation identifies the measures to take for preventing, handling and recovering from a such an attack.
Argus is a completely free event, which takes delegates through a realistic terrorist attack using a multi-media simulation. A series of questions and challenges are asked, both individually and as a group for delegates to resolve. The event lasts three hours.
There are a number of different types of Argus event; The Retail Sector, Night Time Economy, Education and Health.
We have prepared a page containing further information on Project Argus. It can be accessed from the link Project Argus Information
As future dates are arranged details will be added. To register your interest please email normit@norfolk.gov.uk
