Eight strategically located fire stations staffed by a combination of career and volunteer firefighters provide Response. According to Marion County Fire District #1, they respond to over 4,300 emergencies annually.
The study’s objectives and goals are to identify shipments of hazardous materials originating, terminating, or passing through the Wasco and Hood River County area.
Using the data from the study will assist emergency responders and community planners in enhancing emergency planning capabilities and supporting existing emergency response organizations locally.
Through review, and with the help of current information gathered, this study is able to assist fire districts in determining high hazard areas and incident history. Use of the data will help first responders to better able to determine possible vulnerable facilities, transportation routes, and exposures in the community.
Statewide Commodity Flow Studies
The study assesses transportation patterns of hazardous material transferred on Oregon roads during 2002-2004. Oregon has a number of local emergency teams trained to respond to hazardous material spills that may occur on Oregon state highways. Oregon weigh stations have records of hazardous materials transported and weighed at open weigh stations. However, there is no record of where this material is loaded, what route the trucks take prior to arriving at the weigh stations or what route they take after leaving the weigh stations.
Designed to learn more about the transportation patterns of hazardous materials in Oregon, the survey collected data on a select a sample of weigh stations records and requested route information.
