PY - 2019 T2 - Goldfrank's Toxicologic Emergencies, 11e AB - A disaster is typically classified in 2 categories: hazards and threats. Hazards are naturally occurring events, such as blizzards, tornadoes, and flooding. A threat is a human-made event, such a bombing attack or release of a biohazardous agent. Response to an incident must be tailored to the hazard or threat. Whether faced with an earthquake or a hazardous material, incident response must be rapid, effective, and orderly. This chapter focuses on the identification, management, and response to hazardous materials incidents.
