Abstract

It is important to fine-tune the emergency response mechanisms that are used in the aftermath of a toxic chemical accident. However action of this sort is no substitute for crisis prevention. Crises caused by toxic chemical accidents can be prevented through a series of measures including compre hensive legislation for emergency response and community empowerment, hazard analysis, and accident prevention planning.
