Hazardous Materials Releases and Associated Emergency Response Efforts in the Turkey Earthquake of August 17, 1999: Implications for Future Risk Management Planning

1999年8月的土耳其地震为研究地震如何引发危险物质的释放提供了一个独特的机会。在这个项目中，将对土耳其的工业设施进行调查，以了解发生了哪些类型的危险物质释放，以及哪些类型的缓解和应急措施是有效的。将把数据制成表格，并采用危害评估方法来描述导致这些释放的一系列事件。将提出建议，使美国和土耳其的危险物质管理计划和应急反应程序更能适应共同自然灾害和技术灾害所产生的特殊需要。

CMS-0085265SteinbergThe August 1999 Turkish earthquake offers a unique opportunity to study how hazardous materials releases may be triggered by earthquakes. In this project, Turkish industrial facilities will be surveyed to learn what types of hazardous materials released occurred and what types of mitigation and emergency response measures were effective. The data will be tabulated and hazard assessment methods employed to describe the series of events, which led to these releases. Recommendations for making the U.S. and Turkish hazardous material management plans and emergency response procedures more responsive to the particular needs generated by joint natural and technological disasters will be offered.
