Subject: Designed to assist decision-makers and technical personnel in imporving community awareness of hazardous installations, and in preparing response plans should unexpected events at these installations endanger life, property or the environment. In a first introductory chapter, the background, the approach and the scope of the APELL Process are presented. The thrust in this Handbook is directed at the local level, since recent evidence shows that the extent of an accident's impact depends heavily on the immediate response to an emergency at the plant site and at the local level. The Handbook is designed to address and respond to the emergency events associated with any industrial or commercial operation as the result of fire, explosion, spills or release of hazardous materials.
