Hazardous Substances Emergency Events Surveillance (HSEES)

The Hazardous Substances Emergency Events Surveillance (HSEES) is a program designed to track and analyze incidents involving the release of dangerous substances. It collects data on accidents that occur in various industries, aiming to understand their causes and impacts on public health and the environment. By reviewing these events, HSEES helps identify trends, improve safety regulations, and prevent future incidents. The information gathered is vital for emergency response planning and enhancing community safety, ensuring that both authorities and the public can better manage risks associated with hazardous materials.
