Response Strategies for Hazardous
Materials (HAZMAT) Emergencies
To provide an overview of operational protocols and tactical response strategies for hazardous materials incidents.
——
Although FRDM is the leading agency in CBRNE incidents, technical support from others such as ATOM, DOE, DOSH, JKM, and KKM are needed for a successful operation.
Two main response mechanisms:
- Initial Operational Response – Immediate initial actions to prevent the spread & escalation of the incident.
- Specialist Operational Response – Collaboration with specialist to transform the incident from active phase to recovery phase.

- Planning & documenting – do not connect with response.
- Tunnel vision on incident escalation & response management
- Over-reliance on authorities
- One plan for all hazards
