Point features representing the locations of Extremely Hazardous Substances as defined in the Oregon State Fire Marshal's "Community Right to Know" program. In 1985, the Oregon Legislature passed the Oregon Community Right to Know (CR2K) and Protection Act. The purpose of this law is to provide first responders and the public with information about hazardous substances in their response areas and neighborhoods. The law directs the Office of State Fire Marshal to survey business and government facilities for information about the presence of hazardous substances and to collect information about incidents involving hazardous substances. The law further directs the OSFM to provide planning and training assistance to local jurisdictions on hazardous substance emergency response and preparedness. This particular dataset is a subset of facilities that Portland Fire & Rescue's HazMat program has concern about. |
