Chances are...your incident will involve transportation assets or impacts.  It's important to understand the idea of ESF 1 and the Transportation Lifeline as well as the partners/assets/resources in this space.  The folks who work in a Dept of Transportation, Road & Bridge, Public Works, or other department often can bring a ton of experience and equipment to the fight...whether it be traditional transportation situations or things like debris management.  

Often an incident will be on or near a transportation roadway.  These incidents come with additional complexity, stakeholders, and risk.  It is important that IMT members familiarize themselves with the partners and resources...as well as safety considerations ahead of time for a more effective response.
