Abstract: We have read with great interest the article titled "Evaluation of Emergency Department Personnel’s Preparedness for Chemical, Biological, Radiation, and Nuclear Emergencies" authored by Bıçakcı and Bıcakcı, published in the final issue of your journal for the year 2023. In their research, the authors examined the preparedness level of emergency department personnel for chemical, biological, radiation, and nuclear (CBRN) incidents and their ability to respond to such events. They highlighted the inadequacy of education, drills, and knowledge level regarding CBRN incidents, emphasizing the necessity for emergency department personnel to be prepared for such events. We extend our thanks to the authors and the editorial board for this insightful contribution and congratulate them. However, we would like to offer two additional suggestions to enhance the response to CBRN incidents.
