The International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) is conducting a national hazardous materials emergency response training gap-analysis, focusing on rural emergency first response operations to railroad incidents.
As reported by IAFC, this initiative aims to identify training gaps and needs for emergency responders dealing with hazmat-related rail emergencies.
The analysis will gather critical feedback from stakeholders involved in hazmat-related rail emergency response.
The findings will help inform an assessment to address training gaps and improve response operations.
The success of this initiative relies on the active participation of stakeholders with a role in hazmat-related rail emergency response.
IAFC is asking for feedback on knowledge, experience, and barriers regarding training for these incidents.
Data collected through this analysis is anonymous.
Respondents are not required to provide personal or specific department/agency information, ensuring that responses cannot be traced back to individuals or organizations.
The IAFC has set a deadline for feedback submission.
The form will close at 11:59 PM ET on Friday, June 28.
Stakeholders are encouraged to participate and provide their insights to help improve hazardous materials emergency response training across rural areas, enhancing overall safety and preparedness.
