Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) ~ April 10, 2023

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Editor’s Note: The “flood” of documentation continues! As a scientist, I have “basic training” in learning about how to recognize and respond to “Hazardous Materials” which may appear in my environment. For those unaware, this may be a good time to quickly read, and then have the following information “on-hand”. In these times…it is good to have this info on hand, allowing you to BE in…

Quantum Joy!

Quickly Identify Hazardous Materials Emergency Procedures

PHMSA’s 2020 Emergency Response Guidebook provides first responders with a go-to manual to help deal with hazmat transportation accidents during the critical first 30 minutes.

DOT’s goal is to place an ERG in every public emergency service vehicle nationwide. To date, more than16 million free copies have been distributed to the emergency response community through state emergency management coordinators. Members of the public may purchase a copy of the ERG through the GPO Bookstore and other commercial suppliers.

First responders, we want your feedback! Submit your name, organization, contact information, and comments to ERGComments@dot.gov
