Spot The Hazards

Hazardous materials are often displayed in cartoons with a skull and crossbones printed on the label, but in real life they can be harder to spot.

Hazardous materials are all around you: under the kitchen sink, in the garage and riding down the highway in a tanker truck.

Most of them will be handled correctly and used only for their intended purposes. But if a chemical, biological or radiological/nuclear emergency does occur, it is important that you know what to do!

  • Make a Plan

    A little preparation could protect your life and the lives of those around you. It only takes a few minutes to develop a plan. When finished, you'll have a pocket-size emergency plan at hand.

  • Build a Kit

    Remember how long it took to pack for your last vacation? The last thing you want to worry about in a disaster is packing. That’s why everyone should have an Emergency Supply Kit ready to go. Use this checklist to help you assemble your kit.
