Tools for Practitioners: Communicating Risks at Underground Storage Tanks and Superfund sites

This webpage provides resources to personnel to communicate risk about underground storage tanks and Superfund sites.

Underground Storage Tanks

• Community Engagement and the Underground Storage Tank Program
• Guidelines for Tailoring Community Engagement Activities to Circumstances

Superfund

• Superfund Community Involvement Tools and Resources

Depending on the Superfund site and situation, Community Involvement Coordinators and/or Remedial Project Managers and/or On-Scene Coordinators are the primary EPA contacts.

The two graphic links below lay out community involvement activities required by law and recommended to better engage and inform the community during the remedial process and removal processes that include emergency responses, time-critical removals, and non-time-critical removals. Risk communication happens during all these activities.
