CHLOREP Sector Operations

The CHLOREP emergency response mutual aid network is divided into 21 sectors across the U.S. and Canada. Each sector has a primary team and one or more secondary teams that are available 24/7 to provide a rapid and effective response to chlorine emergencies. There are more than 80 response teams from 21 member companies in the network. The primary team leader in each sector is responsible for ensuring effective communications between teams to promote awareness and coordination of resources for response within the sector.

Sector Map

The US and Canada are divided into sectors as part of the CHLOREP Mutual Aid Network (as show above without companies listed). Within each sector a primary team has the lead when the mutual aid network is activated. The primary team is positioned to lend assistance either via telephone or through deployment to an incident site as indicated by the severity of the incident. Packager teams are available in most sectors to provide assistance for ton and cylinder incidents. The CHLOREP Sector Map (version with companies) details the breakdown of the U.S. and Canada for CHLOREP operational purposes and shows the locations of CHLOREP response teams and CHLOREP contractors.

CHLOREP Handbook

The Handbook contains the detailed organizational and operating procedures for the CHLOREP Network. Appendix III of the Handbook provides comprehensive Incident Management Guidance for CHLOREP Teams' on-site chlorine emergency response operations. 

The CHLOREP Handbook recently underwent a comprehensive update to include up-to-date information and to ensure the guidance provided was directly related to a CHLOREP Team’s role in a response. Edition 7 (December 2021) of the Handbook is now available for download.
