Emergency Response Operations Team definition
Emergency Response Operations Team means a regional hazardous materials operation level response team trained, equipped, and authorized to evaluate and, when possible, provide simple mitigation to a hazardous materials incident and may recommend to the local/tribal incident manager the best means of controlling the hazard after consideration of life safety concerns, environmental effects, exposure hazards, quantity and type of hazardous material, availability of resources, or other relevant factors. An EROT may serve as a Quick Response Action Team (QRAT) based on the geographical location of a hazardous materials incident.
