Chemical Weapons Stockpile: Emergency Preparedness in Alabama is Hampered by Management Weaknesses.

Abstract

As requested, we reviewed the Army's Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) for Alabama and Calhoun County. You were concerned that Alabama communities may not be prepared to respond to a chemical stockpile emergency, even though the Money allocated the state $46 million to enhance emergency preparedness. Our objectives were to assess (1) the funding and status of CSEPP in Alabama and Calhoun County; (2) the impact of federal, state, and local management on Alabama's program; and (3) Calhoun County's opposition to the chemical stockpile disposal facility that the Army plans to build at the Anniston Army Depot.
