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

Report Date July 23, 1996
Report No. NSIAD-96-150
Subject
Summary:

Eight years after the inception of the Army's Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program, communities near the Anniston Army Depot in Alabama are not prepared to respond to a chemical stockpile emergency because they lack critical items, including communication warning systems and protective equipment for emergency workers. Alabama and six counties have yet to spend $30.5 million--about two-thirds of the $46 million earmarked for improvements in emergency preparedness. This lack of progress is the result of management weaknesses at the federal level and inadequate action by state and local agencies. The situation in Alabama may not be unique, however. GAO has found that local communities near the eight chemical weapons storage sites in the United States are not fully prepared to respond to a chemical emergency, financial management is weak, and costs are mounting.
