Risk Assessment of Hazardous Material Transportation for Small and Tribal Communities

项目名称：	Risk Assessment of Hazardous Material Transportation for Small and Tribal Communities
摘要：	This research is focused on small communities and tribal communities in Nebraska. Research is proposed to assess the risk from highway based transportation of hazardous materials to small (population <5,000) and tribal communities in Nebraska. Highway-based incidents involving hazardous materials constitute about 88% of incidents reported nationwide by all modes of transport (air, rail, water, and highway). In 2018, about 18,000 incidents involving hazardous materials were reported on highways nationwide with an estimated cost of about $92 million (Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration Office of Hazardous Material Safety, 2019). Small communities and tribal communities may be more vulnerable to the effects of incidents involving hazardous materials due to a variety of reasons including possible lack of planning, preparedness, and limited resources to deal with incidents. Therefore, it is important to: (1) assess the vulnerability of small and tribal communities to hazardous materials involved highway incidents by assessing the risk, (2) develop a framework for emergency planning for dealing with the outcomes of hazardous material involved incidents, and (3) develop a manual with guidance for small and tribal communities.
