Based upon a review of the National Planning Scenarios and the National Response Framework Incident Annexes, the hazards identified at the national level predominately focus on terrorist or criminal use of specific toxic or dangerous materials during an intentional act, instead of the accidental releases associated with the inter/intra-state, multimodal storage and/or transportation of all hazmat. In addition, these federal efforts, such as FEMA 508-4, do not include resource typing criteria for the entire resource set necessary to successfully manage a release of hazmat in storage, use, or transportation.

Risk management is often strongly influenced by the perceived political and social implications of a particular methodology as well as anticipated reactions and bias by specific user communities. This methodology is focused on the scope identified within the project charter to address all hazmat response operations to all identified hazard classes across all applicable modes of transportation and use, which is a scope not addressed by any single regulation, guide, or document approved at the Federal level.
