Evacuation at fire

If tank, rail tank car or highway tank is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 m in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 m in all directions.

Evacuation at large spill

Consider initial downwind evacuation for at least 300 m.

Evacuation: immediate precautionary measure

As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area for at least 50 m in all directions.
