Transportation infrastructure including waterways, roadways, railways, bridges, tunnels and air is key for conveying people and delivering all goods and services. Disruption due to weather, accidents or terrorist events can lead to emergencies and disasters.

North Dakota has seen its share of train derailments, downed aircraft and multi-vehicle accidents. North Dakota’s most memorable transportation accident occurred in Minot at 1:40 a.m. January 18, 2002, when 31 train cars derailed, resulting in a massive anhydrous ammonia leak. At the time, it was the largest anhydrous ammonia leak in the nation. The incident required a multi-faced response from local, state, federal and private resources to address the containment of the hazardous materials and public health issues.
