Environmental Emergencies
Your business may also need to have an emergency response plan that is required by regulation and includes reporting responsibilities. Environmental emergencies involve the release (accidental, deliberate, or caused by natural disasters) or threatened release of hazardous materials, radioactive materials, or oil to the soil, water or air. Environmental emergency response responsibilities are spread across local, state, and federal agencies depending on the size and type of emergency.
