Hazardous Materials Response Team (HMRT)

A Hazardous Materials Response Team (HMRT) is a specialized group trained to handle emergencies involving dangerous substances, such as chemicals, biological agents, or radioactive materials. Their primary role is to identify the hazard, contain it, and protect public safety. They respond to incidents like chemical spills, explosions, or leaks, ensuring that the area is safe for both the public and the environment. HMRT members use specialized equipment and follow strict protocols to manage these risks effectively, often working in coordination with other emergency services to resolve the situation efficiently.
