Hazardous Commodity Flow Studies

Do you know what hazardous materials are moving through your community? SESCO’s Hazardous Commodity Flow Studies provide critical data and insights to help local governments, emergency planners, and public safety officials prepare for transportation-related HazMat incidents. Our process combines stakeholder engagement, data analysis, and GIS mapping to deliver practical intelligence you can act on.

Meet The Experts

Gain the insight your community needs to plan effectively. Contact SESCO about Hazardous Commodity Flow Studies.

Communities are only as prepared as the information they have. Hazardous Commodity Flow Studies (HCFS) help local governments, emergency planners, and public safety officials understand the risks of hazardous material transportation in their jurisdiction. SESCO delivers the data, analysis, and tools needed to make informed decisions and improve response readiness.

Why It Matters

Hazardous materials move daily by road, rail, waterway and pipeline. Without clear insight into what’s being transported, communities risk being underprepared for an incident that could threaten public health and safety.

What We Provide

  • Data collection from DOT, railroads, and trucking companies

  • GIS mapping of transportation routes

  • Risk analysis by commodity type

  • Stakeholder coordination with LEPCs and first responders

  • Final report and planning recommendations

Who We Serve

Counties, municipalities, emergency planning committees, transportation planners, and public safety agencies.

“I would highly recommend them [SESCO]. Our experience was marked by exceptional professionalism, clear communication, and a thorough understanding of hazardous materials planning. SESCO delivered a high-quality Commodity Flow Study that was not only data-rich but also practical and easy to incorporate into our emergency planning efforts. They were responsive to our questions, adapted to our local needs, and stayed on schedule and within scope.”

Robert Jeffers PEM/CEM, Huntington County Emergency Management

“We contracted with SESCO Group to complete a commodity flow study for Dearborn County.  While preparing to complete this study I had the pleasure of meeting several individuals from this group.  All are very pleasant to work with.  They provided ideas, asked questions, and gave feedback on how a flow study should be handled for Dearborn County. They always kept us in the loop of where they would be sitting and what types of vehicles so local enforcement would be aware. I’m happy to recommend the services of the SESCO Group.”

Jason Sullivan, Director, Dearborn County EMA
