Abstract
The incidents related to transporting hazardous materials may cause serious impacts on neighborhood and surrounding areas. It is essential to have a consistent incident command system and the corresponding response procedures. Currently, the command system is not integrated into one channel, which makes it difficult to control an incident over in a voice. Another problem is that the event status is not appropriately shared among authorities having responsibilities taking down the incidents. This paper investigates previous studies covering the emergency response manuals prepared for hazard material transports and suggests an integrated command system that helps communicate effectively and promptly between authorities on site. Additionally, we classify types of incident happened while transporting the hazardous materials and develop incident response manuals according to the classifications for prompt reactions.
