One of PHMSA’s strategies for reducing the consequences of pipeline failures is to strengthen the capabilities of local emergency responders with targeted planning and training, increased coordination, and greater accountability. PHMSA has undertaken a variety of initiatives and activities with the goal of institutionalizing pipeline awareness within the emergency response community. On December 9, 2011, the U.S. Department of Transportations Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), the National Association of Pipeline Safety Representatives (NAPSR), and the United States Fire Administration (USFA) held an Emergency Responder Forum at the U.S. Department of Transportation headquarters, 1200 New Jersey Ave, SE, Washington, DC . The public forum addressed several recent pipeline incidents that revealed firefighters and other emergency responders in some communities might not have the information they need to adequately prepare for and respond to significant natural gas and hazardous liquid pipeline emergencies.
