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.

Derginizin 2023 yılının son sayısında yayımlanan "Acil Servis Personelinin Kimyasal, Biyolojik, Radyasyon ve Nükleer Acil Durumlarına Hazırlıklarının Değerlendirilmesi" başlıklı Bıçakcı ve Bıcakcı tarafından hazırlanan makaleyi büyük bir ilgiyle okuduk. Araştırmalarında, yazarlar acil servis personelinin kimyasal, biyolojik, radyasyon ve nükleer (KBRN) olaylara karşı hazırlık düzeyini ve bu tür olaylara yanıt verme yeteneklerini incelemişlerdir. Yazarlar, KBRN olaylarına ilişkin eğitim, tatbikat ve bilgi düzeyindeki yetersizliği vurgulayarak, acil servis personelinin bu tür olaylara hazırlıklı olmasının önemini vurgulamışlardır. Bu değerli katkılarından dolayı yazarlara ve editoryal kurula teşekkür eder, kendilerini tebrik ederiz. Bununla birlikte, KBRN olaylarına yanıtı artırmak için iki ek öneri sunmak isteriz.
