Fire, explosion, release of hazardous substances

A major fire in the area, or an explosion? Or an approaching cloud of toxic substances? Fortunately, the likelihood of such incidents is very low. But in Moerdijk, it’s not unthinkable. There is a lot we can do to minimize the risks. However, should something go wrong, the municipality, fire department, or police will inform you about the incident. It is also important to know what to do—and what not to do—in such a situation.

What should I do? (Or, more importantly, what shouldn't I do?)

• How can I make sure I'm prepared for a disaster?
• What should I do in case of a fire?
• What should I do if there is a risk of an explosion?
• What should I do if hazardous substances are released?

How can I stay informed?

Safety Dashboard
