Abstract
During the past decade, chemical exposures have become recognized for the potential hazards they actually represent. Before that time, proper caution had not been acknowledged as to inadvertent or even planned exposure regarding hazardous chemicals. The objective of this effort was to define and identify a computer system for Air Force fire department that would facilitate hazards assessment and response during HAZMAT emergencies, provide HAZMAT incident management guidelines, and provide a training tool to simulate emergency response. Volume 1 contains the HAZMAT Incident Management System, Volume 2 is an Appendices of the HAZMAT data collected and Volume 3 is a Hazardous Materials Incident Management System (HMIMS) Guide Book.
