Disaster response resources for short lines in place
“Short lines need to be thinking through disaster preparation, response, mitigation and resiliency on the calm days so that they’re ready to respond in a crisis,” says the American short line and regional railroad association (ASLRRA).
Therefore, the association has developed and provided resources designed to proactively assist its members in addressing the challenges of both weather and non-weather caused emergency events affecting employees, shippers, infrastructure and operations.
The materials – templates and checklists - available so far on the website cover disaster planning, hazardous materials response and instructions on accessing an emergency docketing addition to links to other government websites. (ben)
