| 摘要： | This report documents the actions taken by emergency response and transportation agencies in response to the July 18, 2001 CSX freight train derailment and fire in the Howard Street Tunnel in Baltimore, Maryland. The report is part of a larger effort to examine the impacts of catastrophic events on transportation system facilities and services. The creation of a detailed chronology of events in Baltimore, MD, a literature search, and interviews of key personnel involved in transportation operations decision-making on July 18 produced the findings documented in this report. As part of a larger effort, four case studies will be formed: New York City, September 11, 2001; Washington, D.C., September 11, 2001; Baltimore, Maryland, rail tunnel fire, July 18, 2001; Northridge, California, earthquake, January 17, 1994. Each of these events resulted in substantial, immediate, and adverse impacts on transportation -- each has had varying degrees of influence on the longer-term operation of transportation facilities and services in their respective region. Each event revealed important information about the response of the transportation system to major stress. Information on the ability of operating agencies and their public safety and emergency management partners' effective response to a crisis was included in the documentation. This report emphasizes the transportation aspects of this catastrophic event and lessons learned that could be incorporated into future emergency response planning. |
