CHIRP is a pan-cluster collaboration between two previous CRTI projects:
ARGOS CRTI Project # 0080TA
Accident Reporting & Guidance Operational System
The system of systems that makes up the Information Management and Decision Support System for Radiological-Nuclear Emergencies
CNPHI Canadian Network for Public Health Intelligence
The system of systems used in the Bio Cluster for Bio emergencies
4
CHIRP benefits:
Enhancements to the current capabilities of ARGOS.
Cost effective, efficient use of multi-jurisdictional resources
Application of innovative approach to bio and RN collaborative response and preparedness
Enhanced surveillance and intelligence gathering
Enhanced communication efficiencies between radio-nuclear and public health stakeholders
5
ARGOS – Accident Reporting Guidance and Operational System
ARGOS is is a multi-partner data integration, monitoring, alerting, analysis and information exchange system of systems supporting the activities of the FNEP – Federal Nuclear Emergency Plan
Paired with Emap as it’s viewer, ARGOS facilitates decision support, improving situational awareness and information sharing among the RN emergency response organizations.
6
The ARGOS Consortium
ARGOS is developed by a consortium of countries.
The current 13 member countries of the
consortium are (May 2009): Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Faroe Islands, Ireland, Lithuania Montenegro, Norway, Poland, Sweden and Turkey.

CNPHI – Canadian Network for Public Health Intelligence
CNPHI is an integrated monitoring, alerting, data gathering, analysis, decision support and information exchange system used by the public health community.
It gathers relevant public health intelligence into a common national framework to support coordination between multi-level jurisdictions.
This form of coordination and information sharing must occur to identify risks, initiate response and build response capacity.

CHIRP offers both the Biological and Radio-Nuclear clusters seamless communication capabilities while preserving the security and defined roles of each group.
12
CHIRP addressed these identified gaps: Faster and more efficient threat assessment through
improved alerting and automated data sharing mechanisms
Advanced crises management and near real-time reaction capability using the response network, CHIRP tools and linkages to other CBRN clusters
Improved consequence management through better communication and decision making

CHIRP Project Overview
• Cross cluster collaboration• FNEP Module for CNPHI • Better integration of CMC models in ARGOS• Sharing of Map Data using GIS OGC compliant
standards (WMS) between the PHAC and RPB• Prototype FNEP portal created, tested and evaluated
during exercise Silver. • Evidence of early success: Po 210

CHIRP and Po210 : Proof of concept ResultsProof of concept Results
At around 5 pm, on November 1, 2006, Russian dissident Alexander Litvinenko was drinking tea in Millennium Hotel in London England.
It is believed that his tea was purposefully contaminated with polonium 210.

As the drama played out more contaminated sites were announced, including a number of aircraft
Many Canadians became concerned and turned to the public health community.
Public health communities were looking to RPB to provide guidance

Using the concepts developed in the CHIRP project, RPB “manually” preformed the processes that the CHIRP system now facilitates.
As a result, HC-RPB issued timely targeted public health alerts in both official languages via the secure CNPHI site to relevant registered members of the public health community at all administrative levels. (Including doctors and nurses in ERs and family practice)
