Although ARES is not a first-responder organization, the safety of our members is our top priority.  In support of that, individuals may be interested in having access to the same information on hazardous materials that first-responders do.  The Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG2008) was developed for use by firefighters, police, and other emergency services personnel who may be the first to arrive at the scene of a transportation incident involving a hazardous material.
