Chemical Preparedness Handbook Final
The Chemical Preparedness Handbook, developed by NACCHO, in partnership with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) is designed to assist local health departments (LHDs) in developing effective public health emergency preparedness and response plans for low-probability, high-risk chemical incidents.
The handbook contains information on chemical incident planning and mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. It also contains several planning checklists with recommended steps and actions for LHDs to consider when developing preparedness plans tailored to their community. LHDs should use the handbook in conjunction with existing planning documents and resources for routine emergency preparedness activities.
