Abstract:This report examines the current applications of information technology to emergency response for hazardous materials incidents, with a focus on the needs and technology uses of HAZ MAT Emergency Responders within local and state Fire Department organizations. This report is a follow-up to Recommendation 3 in Special Report 239, Hazardous Materials Shipment Information for Emergency Response, prepared by the Transportation Research Board for the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT), which suggests that the U.S. DOT "... systematically investigate opportunities for application of information technology to aid emergency responders and reduce the costs of hazardous materials incidents."
