The National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) is developing a Guide to Emergency Response Planning at State Transportation Agencies. The guide will expand on the 2002 Guide to Updating Highway Emergency Response Plans for Terrorist Incidents. It will provide state transportation agencies with a framework for establishing emergency response roles and will recommend ways to integrate these roles into other incident and emergency response functions. The project is taking a comprehensive approach to possible hazards and is considering all modes of transportation managed and supported by state transportation agencies.
