HAZMAT guide for first responders

The goal of this book is to help train HAZMAT response teams and other responders in disaster training, techniques, and planning.

The book will also help define and sharpen training plans and assumptions.

Focusing on lessons learned from real-world experiences during actual disasters, the book will help to establish a well-trained professional 1st responder, individuals, and teams.

Such lessons are emphasized so that planners and responders learn to anticipate how their community is likely to react under real disaster conditions, and plan accordingly.
