Description

1. Please “inventory” your personal workspace (employment) to a distance of five (5) miles. List all identified Hazardous Materials in this region (requires a referenced definition of Hazardous Materials, cite your source. Your local community right to know/Emergency Planning Committee can supplement your personal “windshield search” for materials in their customary locations. Plot these locations on a map, preferably a topographical map. Finally, perform a “Hazard Analysis” rating the most likely hazard material to create an incident, the most toxic to humans, most unique in response, and most persistent to the environment.

Locate the Safety Date Sheet (SDS) for each and post. One additional document with Hazard data/response recommendations for each substance is desirable.

2. Through local and electronic research, identify the responsible goverment agency charged with preparedness, protection, and mitigation of a major Region-wide hazardous material release in your locale. Post the contact information, area of responsibilty (air, land, water, population) and your region of response in your personal DB thread. Write a brief report of the agency's resources for preparedness and mitigation.

Most likely hazard material to create an incident
Leaked sewage is the material likely to be most dangerous. In almost every case, sewage
harbors potential disease-causing microorganism. It, therefore, becomes a concern to the public
in case of a disease outbreak. The leaking sewage flow on the earth surface is subjecting changes
to plants and animals. Disease outbreak and fecal contamination of food are two primary areas
that leaking sewage potentially affect people and animals.
The most toxic material to humans
Among the materials, damped asbestos is rate first as the most poisonous material. The
material ability to be poisonous happens once water flows over it (Lindell et al. 2015). When
such water is used for domestic purposes, the effect to the subject is adverseAsbestos carries a
significant potential to poison water causing death to both man and animals.
