Emergency Response
The strength of the Emergency Response and Removal Program is its ability to mobilize experts and resources to respond to immediate, critical, hazardous substance and oil threats. In an emergency, EPA specialists can be on the scene within hours. The Emergency Responst and Removal Program prevents many deaths and injuries every year by forestalling fire, explosions, or toxic vapor clouds. Early action can prevent the spread of contamination and reduce the need for long-term cleanups.
