Incident Response

At chemical spills, toxic releases and drug labs, we provide as needed:

  • 24-hour/7-day technical assistance
  • Identification of unknown substances
  • Health hazard information
  • Cleanup oversight
  • Community Warning System activation
  • Community Alert Network

Users may now search our database for incidents using various criteria.

Facilities are required to notify the Hazardous Materials Incident Response Team when there is an incident. The County's Board of Supervisors have approved the Hazardous Materials Incident Notification Policy (250k PDF, 17 pp.) detailing when and how this should be done. See also our Notification Flowchart (57k PDF) and our All-Clear Flowchart (17k PDF).
