摘要
Disasters from mishaps and accidents in the transportation of hazardous materials-chemical, nuclear or biological-will become more numerous and worst in the future. We indicate some reasons for this probable trend. Problems in establishing and developing preparedness planning for such kinds of disastrous occasions are then discussed on the basis of findings and observations from social science research studies. In addition, we examine some of the difficulties that exist in mounting an emergency or first response to actual crisis occasions. Particularly looked at are some typical situational contingencies in hazardous material disasters.
