Institution:

Kansas City Kansas Community College

Subject:

Description:

2 hours credit With hazardous materials stored, transported, used and produced throughout the country, it has become increasingly necessary to rely on maps to supply information to Haz-Mat elements, and to help resolve problems caused by emergencies in remote areas of the United States. Equipment, personnel and materials must be transported and phased into a Haz-Mat operation at the proper time and place. Maps are one tool which are used to perform these tasks. The second part of the course deals with the skills required to analyze the local terrain and make sound command decisions. Topics are covered which improve the ability to determine local terrain conditions and potential problems when dealing or planning for a chemical release or spill.
