The reported result can include but is not limited to fire, explosion, evacuation, fire/ems response, an injury or fatality occurred, material was spilled, damage more than $500 and toxic inhalation hazards were involved. The Incidents list can be quickly sorted by : date (most recent), the hazardous material's UN#, damage total dollar amt or grouped by state. Users may also search the list by the material's UN#. The viewable detail of each incident includes: a map, incident cause, shipper & carrier names, a result summary and material specific information.
