This program is the result of two-years cooperation between this office and local industry. This 24-hour Notification Procedure is necessary for mitigating life and property threatening damage since the information you possess is considered more current and may be needed by first-responders in the event of an emergency. The purpose of the program is to insure that county and local governments are promptly notified of hazardous material releases which may impact the local community by using a pre-established procedure. Enclosed is an example of a Hazardous Material Incident Notification Procedure. As a company which uses, stores, transports, disposes, or handles hazardous material in Contra Costa County, you are required by the enclosed resolution to complete this guide and return it to the Office of Emergency Services at the above address. The information will then be added to the hazardous materials data repository and will be available to response agencies as needed. This recognizes that industrial concerns in the county provide emergency information on their products and facilities but, although required by law to report these occurrences to various Federal and State agencies, notification of local agencies is often delayed. 00 140 The Industry-Government Hazardous Material Notification Procedure which you submit will determine how and under what conditions the Office of Emergency Services and response agencies will be notified of a hazardous material incident at your facility. Your procedure must provide the information shown on page one (1) so that if an emergency should occur, emergency personnel may contact you on a 24-hour basis. The remainder may be modified to reflect your own procedures. If you have any questions regarding the Industry-Government Hazardous Materials Notification Program, please call me at the Office of Emergency Services, at 228-5000.
