Example 2: Risk management and emergency spill response pilot
In the state of Oklahoma, First Responders to hazardous material contamination events have registered with a system called E-Plan to access critical information during emergencies, such as:
- Maps of the area surrounding a fixed facility showing schools and hospitals
- Maps of all facilities with a specified hazardous material in specific area
- Chemical Hazards Response Information System (CHRIS) data
- Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
- Chemical profiles
- Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) pages
- National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes
- Facility Risk Management Plans (RMPs)
Information is delivered to firefighters and hazmat teams online, and is also connected to drinking water utility networks.
Similarly, The Triple Divide Watershed Coalition, a source water collaborative in Pennsylvania, worked with Tioga/Potter 911 networks to overlay maps and information on public water systems into an emergency response tool in case of chemical spill.
The Hamilton-New Baltimore Consortium, a collaborative in Ohio, created a Contingency Plan for toxic spill cleanup. The Consortium publicizes a Regulated Substance Release Report, information on emergency response procedures, and contacts for environmental cleanup organizations.
