About this episode
The episode discusses the United States' emerging threats document and its implications for hazard materials operations.
In this episode, we break down the United States’ emerging threats document and translate it into practical takeaways you can actually use. This is part of a two-part series, where we walk through six key points from the document and discuss how each one connects to the Hazard's Materials branch. Along the way, we focus on what these threat trends could mean for operations, readiness, and the kinds of hazards teams may need to anticipate. Part two will cover six additional points to complete the picture. If you’re attending conferences this year, expect to hear these topics showing up on the circuit, and this episode helps you get ahead of the conversation.
