HAZMAT COMPUTER BULLETIN BOARD ONLINE
A computer accessed data exchange containing information
about hazardous materials is now available to those with computer
networking capabilities. The bulletin board is a joint effort of
the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA) and the U. S.
Department of Transportation's Research and Special Programs
Administration (DOT).
The system contains information about federal and state
training events, conferences, literature, instructional materials
and personnel, organizational resources, data bases with toll-
free telephone numbers, experiences, laws and regulations and new
events, and general messages relating to hazardous materials.
Users can read, enter and upload data trough the menu-driven
program. It can be accessed with a personal computer, a modem
(300 or 1200 baud) and any communications software. Access is
gained by dialing (312) 972-3275 or in Illinois 800-367-9592.
Those without computer capability or needing assistance can call
1-800-PLAN FOR ( 1-800-752-6367) during normal business hours
(CST).
