Improvements in NBC protection

NBC protection has become more demanding in recent years and has gained in importance due to increasing hazards and threats as well as technological developments. This makes it all the more important to support a good exchange of information between the agencies involved. To this end, the Federal Council is creating a new exchange platform to improve overall coordination in Swiss NBC protection.
