IAFF Training for Hazardous Materials: Technician© Student Text Department of the Environment may know a Tactical Assistance Team based in a regional EPA office. Local At the local level there may be other agencies that can provide valuable assistance when preparing pre-incident plans for particular hazardous materials emergencies. Examples are public works departments and universities. Private Companies and Organizations In addition to government agencies, there are many private companies and organizations that can assist in both developing information for pre-incident plans and in emergency response. In general, these organizations fall into the following categories. Manufacturers and Shippers Many manufacturers and shippers maintain telephone help lines and, in some cases, also provide response resources. This information is essential in developing a plan, as well as resolving an incident. Many of these businesses are also responsible for cleanup activities. Developing key contacts within firms that are manufacturing, shipping, or handling hazardous materials in your community will ensure access to these resources. Private Mutual-Aid Associations In some areas where there are a number of businesses involved in handling hazardous materials, there are also private mutual-aid associations. These associations assist in control and cleanup of hazardous materials. Each organization must be assessed individually in terms of the assistance it can provide. 4-24 Module 4: Pre-Incident Planning
Student Text IAFF Training for Hazardous Materials: Technician© Other Resources While the public and private entities described here can be of assistance, it is also essential to have ready sources of information at hand, both while conducting pre-incident planning activities and when dealing with an emergency. More and more frequently, resources are being coordinated electronically via data repositories and notification/response systems. The B.O.L.D.E.R. project in Arizona, described in Appendix C, is one such system. Activity Module 4: Pre-Incident Planning 4-25
