Hazardous material response

Hazardous material response involves specialized actions taken when dangerous substances, like chemicals or biological agents, are accidentally released into the environment. The goal is to protect people, property, and the environment by identifying the material, containing its spread, and safely removing or neutralizing it. Responders use protective gear and equipment, follow specific procedures, and coordinate with agencies to manage the incident effectively. This process minimizes health risks and environmental damage, ensuring safety and restoring normal conditions as quickly as possible.
