The responsibilities of the HMCFS core team include the following: • Oversight of the HMCFS project, • Identification of HMCFS project objectives, • Review of HMCFS results, and • Implementation of HMCFS results. Selecting the core team is an opportunity to involve major hazmat transportation, responder, and community stakeholders in the project.

LEPC executive staff from Victoria City and County Emergency Management and the Victoria Citizens Medical Center identified project objectives and local resources, and coordinated data collection by volunteer participants from local industry, hospitals, the fire department, and other groups. State agency staff processed and evaluated the data and prepared the project report.

These practices were identified in extensive research that was conducted for this guidebook, including a survey of LEPCs about how they conducted HMCFS and detailed examinations of HMCFS case studies. Appendix D.1 includes the first of these promising practices, an HMCFS Objectives Checklist.

Local and regional planners may focus on land use, development, zoning, transport corridor development, and environmental planning but fail to account for hazmat transport risks in these plans. In addition, HMCFS information -- for example, truck traffic levels and patterns or truck type information -- also may be useful for other community planning applications.

Sampling and precision requirements for HMCFS data are discussed in Chapter 5. Appendix D.2, Let HMCFS Objectives Guide Sampling, suggests some guidelines for sampling hazmat transport data (that is, where, when, and how often data should be collected)

Trying to plan for every possible risk is not only impossible, but also may limit the usefulness of any efforts that are attempted. Appendix D.4, Match Protection Level with HMCFS Objectives, is provided for local entities that are interested in a better understanding of public protection goals and how HMCFS objectives are related to those goals.
