CT Toxics Users and Climate Resilience Map
The CT Toxic Users & Climate Risk Viewer is a tool for businesses as well as local and state emergency preparedness and response planners. Layers include
- the national flood hazard zones,
- hurricane evacuation areas,
- facilities that are EPCRA Tier 2 filers,
- RCRA hazardous waste generators,
- storage/ disposal facilities,
- Toxics Release Inventory reporters, and
- sea level rise scenarios.
Business, especially those that store hazardous chemicals, materials and/or wastes on site can assess the vulnerability of their location to climate-related natural hazards and take action to prevent damage or contamination from toxic on-site materials.
EPCRA-regulated facilities subject to CGS 22a-610(e) can use this map viewer tool to assess flooding risk and update hazard mitigation plans and applicable evacuation plans accordingly.
