Transport Canada plays a key role in responding to
emergencies and crises when they occur. We also help
prevent emergencies through our emergency preparedness
activities and by improving the security of the transportation system. In
the event of an incident involving dangerous goods, CANUTEC,
the Canadian Transport Emergency Centre operated by TC can assist emergency
response personnel.
General information about transport of dangerous goods is also
available from the centre.
