1000 word paper on Hazmat Incidents and How We Respond To Them

Abstract: Hazardous materials have many ways in which they can be made like explosives, flammable substances, radioactive ingredients, and poisons. Incidents can transpire throughout production, packing, shipping, and use or disposal phase. Coastline and domestic spills are called HAZMAT incidents, and are customarily handled by first responders like firefighters and local police. A lot can happen if the first responders do not respond in time to a HAZMAT incident or if it becomes too much to handle for small towns that have unexpected incidents like power plants.
