PUBLICATION DATA
The 2024 Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG2024) was prepared by the staff of Transport
Canada, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the Secretariat of Infrastructures,
Communications and Transport (SICT) of Mexico with the assistance of many interested
parties from government and industry including the collaboration of CIQUIME of Argentina.
Printing and publication services are provided through U.S. DOT’s Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), Outreach, Engagement, and Grants Division.
ERG2024 is based on earlier Transport Canada, U.S. DOT, and Mexico’s Secretariat of
Infrastructures, Communications and Transport emergency response guidebooks. ERG2024
is published in three languages: English, French and Spanish. The Emergency Response
Guidebook has been translated and printed in other languages, including Mandarin, German,
Hebrew, Japanese, Portuguese, Korean, Hungarian, Polish, Turkish and Thai.
We encourage countries that wish to translate this Guidebook to please contact any of the
websites or telephone numbers in the next paragraph.
