CERFP stands for CBRN Enhanced Response Force Package, and CBRN stands for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear.
The scenario: an F5 tornado hit Omaha NE. It hit Rosenblatt stadium, where an all-star baseball game was taking place, it also hit the Henry Dorley Zoo, and a chemical plant. The Chemical plant is leeching gas north across the stadium and zoo. All elements are working together to take care of casualties.
