In 1986, Congress mandated chemical munitions stored at Anniston Army Depot and seven other stockpile sites be destroyed. Congress also mandated, in Public Law 99-145, maximum protection for the public, the environment and workers involved in the chemical destruction process.
The Calhoun County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) encourages you to review this website and familiarize yourself with, not only what to do in the unlikely event of a chemical incident at the Anniston Army Depot, but what to do in the event of natural disasters as well.
Although a chemical accident could be catastrophic to Calhoun County, numerous other hazards pose threats as well. Severe weather is no stranger to this area, and numerous facilities within the county store hazardous materials or transport them throughout Calhoun County each day.
