About

On November 19–21, 2019, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Research and Development hosted the 11th U.S. EPA International Decontamination Research and Development Conference at Sheraton Norfolk Waterside Hotel in Norfolk, Virginia. This conference is known as the largest and most recognized civilian-led conference on all issues related to cleanup following a chemical, biological, or radiological (CBR) incident. It continues to foster collaboration and strengthen research to develop strategies and technologies enabling the nation to withstand and to recover from future disasters, both natural and man-made, at a national and local level.
