Welcome to the National Hazardous Materials Fusion Center, a one stop shop for information about hazmat response.

• Regional Incident Survey Teams (RIST): comprised of veteran hazmat experts that
  respond post-incident to hazmat incidents by invitation of local or state jurisdictions or at the
  request of PHMSA.   They gather and disseminate lessons learned and smart practices from
  real incidents by creating reports and training packages available on the Hazmat Fusion
  Center portal.  
  
  
• Web Portal: a free resource that serves as a one-stop-shop for valuable hazmat response
  information. Training packages, smart practices, lessons learned, hazmat statistics and trends,
  alerts, recommendations, and other resources are available to everyone.
  
  
• Members Only Portal: some information is only available via a user name and password. 
  This includes full RIST incident reports, access to the hazmat discussion forum for users to 
  exchange information and learn from one another. 
  
  
• Incident Reporting System:  allows hazmat teams to enter, manage, and analyze
  their own hazmat incident reports. By local jurisdictions entering these reports,
  the National Hazmat Fusion Center is able to create a national picture of what is
  happening with regard to hazardous materials. The Fusion Center then disseminates
  national and regional hazmat statistics and trends.
