Accurate information means faster response to disasters

Every day, hazardous goods are transported on our roads. To help drivers choose the safest route, the Swedish County Councils recommend roads and parking facilities that are suitable for hazardous goods, while prohibiting access to sensitive areas.

Should an accident occur, it is essential that the local authority have access to all necessary geodata - information about soil type and hydrogeological data, for example - so that action can be undertaken quickly to clean up the area and protect the groundwater.
