Occasionally, the U.S. EPA issues a process safety alert or study that is related to chemical reactivity hazards. The following incident summaries are from a Case Study on phenol-formaldehyde reaction hazards (EPA 1999a) and from an Alert urging the use of multiple data sources when developing emergency response strategies (EPA 1999b).

Fig. 10. The effects of scopolamine on the 3 parameters measured (errors, running times, response strategy) during the radial maze task in the rat (mean of 3 sessions). Note the dose-dependent increase in the number of errors and running times, with a statistically significant decrease in response strategy occurring at the highest dose.

Governments and businesses can also take important steps to help individuals learn and carry out appropriate responses to terrorist attacks. The actions these groups take will be important to everyone s ability to understand and carry out an appropriate response strategy. 

To focus its response strategies effectively, the Navy should emphasize these three key principles ... 

A Monte-Carlo solution of the evacuation model provides in addition a sample of actual trajectories of the evacuees. This information coupled with an accident analysis which provides the spatial and temporal distribution of the extreme phenomenon following an accident, determines a sample of the actual doses received by the evacuees. Both the average dose and the actual distribution of doses can be used as measures in evaluating alternative emergency response strategies. 

As more of the individuals called appear on the scene and begin to take up their duties, the response plan falls into place. Response strategies vary from incident to incident and in different circumstances and take varying amounts of time to carry out. Response to a small spill may be fully operational within hours, whereas for a larger spill, response elements such as shoreline assessment after cleanup may not take place until weeks after the incident. 

Establishment of predetermined response strategies to support decision making by WMATA and other emergency responders during an incident is key to the operation of the PROTECT system. Response options include stopping trains (some or all) or moving trains away from the affected areas. The video information also can help in the deployment of emergency response personnel to the affected station(s). 

PROTECT, as currently implemented for WMATA, relies on human-in-the-loop response and decision making, except for the initial automated camera response triggered by sensors. Verification of detection, performed by staff in the operational control center (alerted to do so by the sensor alarm), is a necessary first step before any responsive actions are taken. CB-EMIS has been developed as a situational awareness tool where all event and supplemental (such as data on hazardous chemicals) information can be accessed and displayed. CB-EMIS also provides estimates of threat agent dispersion, the location of hazardous areas, and predetermined response strategies. These functions provide important inputs to the response decision making.
