How do you plan for emergencies involving the transportation of chemicals?

Millions of pounds of chemical products are transported through Harford County every day on our highways, railways, pipelines and airlines.


The Local Emergency Planning Committee conducts routine studies of what is being transported through Harford County with the TRANSCAER System, an organized method of gathering data from carriers and making sure the proper resources are available for an emergency involving those substances. This includes placard counts of the tractor trailers on our highways, cargo reports from railroads and updates on the pipeline operations. Please call 410-638-4900 for more information.
