28 Huh? What? Are we wasting our time? How? This is stupid! Some examples of things gone bad!!!!

29 34 degrees March :30 pm Reported TT accident Found gallon totes on highway with red dye 1 broken open No placards Speak with driver Chemtrec Other research

30

31 DEP failed to allow response based on research MSP wanted road opening DEP contractor failed to provide accurate equipment Others allowed to dictate what was going on Light rain began to fall yikes

36 No local coordination Lack of communication No knowledge of drainage Water shed access issues Later stage contractor specialists As a result 13 year Litigation Over 1 million dollars worth of damage

41 Local knowledge of drainage Quicker access to DEP contractors and hazmat teams. IC determination to allow burn Quick access for weather determination for possible evacuation Local processing of water supply adjacent to accident scene

42 Sensitive Populations 1,000 people abut the highway 3,000 people within area of concern Schools 500 children within 500 feet Nursing Homes 200 Beds

43 Water Shed Stretches 5 miles on each side of highway Servicing 12,000 people Town Water Wells Producing 1.2 million gallons per day Two within ½ mile Major surface water stream bisects multiple times Economic Impact?? For proper water treatment $100,000 per hour per mile

44 Training Communication Interagency Communication Cross Agency Cooperation Technology

45 Practice Even for the non-hazmat oriented ERG CAMEO/ALOHA/MARPLOT/Wiser/SaferMobile Run Simulations CAMEO/ALOHA/MARPLOT/Wiser/SaferMobile Table Top Exercises Funding?

63 Currently LFD is using. Hard Copy Maps Autocad GPS Ipads Arcview/ERSI Geographic Information Systems Platform

64 Using Autocad for initial basemap Was started by our Light Department as a data layer Autodesk TM license to LFD to support hydrant location Modified to Include Highway IM.

65 Laminated paper copies of Highway Infrastructure added to.. Command vehicle Hazmat Trailer Rescue Fire Alarm

66 Trimble Model hand held device accurate to within 3 feet. Used to map. Catch basins Drainage outfalls Drainage patterns Structures

67 Used to visually present data in PDF maps created by autocad Used to represent aerial photographs, GIS data Used to store written plans, photos, and other GPS data

68 Used as a GIS platform To track hazmat calls Store and present GPS data Locate and illustrate Hazmat Release Action Points locations

69

70 Set Action Points Action locations along highway and railroad corridor. Action locations around town Used to protect water supply Used to protect public in event of heavier than gas releases Used to deploy resources/mutual aid Identify Evacuation Models (autocad/arcview/aloha/wiser/safer Reverse 911 via GIS

84 Plan has not been used for heavier than gas releases. Mass DOT aware of plan for road closures due to drainage and basins directed toward interchanges Not Tested for 10,000 gallon catastrophic releases The plan has been implemented for such but accident did not result in complete tank failure.
