"This report presents a user-friendly guidebook to support risk assessment, emergency response preparedness, resource allocation, and analyses of hazardous commodity flows across jurisdictions. The guidebook, which updates the U.S. Department of Transportation's "Guidance for Conducting Hazardous Materials Flow Surveys," is targeted at transportation planning operations staff at the local and regional levels, as well as local and regional personnel involved in hazardous materials training and emergency response. All modes of transportation, all classes and divisions of hazardous materials, and the effects of seasonality on hazardous materials movements are discussed."--publisher's description.

"The report provides an updated, comprehensive Hazardous Materials Commodity Flow Report to the State of Alaska. The purpose of the report, which updates a similar 2005 study, is to compile data on the transportation of extremely hazardous substances (EHS), hazardous substances (HS), and oil/ petroleum products through local communities in Alaska, as well as provide critical information to first responders on the transportation routes and hazardous materials commodities shipped within their local jurisdiction."--Executive summary.
