Washington Pesticide Laws and Safety Practice Test

What does the EMD handle?

1. Health issues

2. Crisis spills and leaks

3. Community right-to-know issues

4. Intrastate transportation issues by private carriers

The correct answer is: Crisis spills and leaks

The EMD or Emergency Management Division handles crisis spills and leaks. This means they are responsible for responding to and managing emergency situations like environmental disasters or hazardous material spills. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not encompass the full scope of the EMD's responsibilities. Health issues would typically be handled by a health department or agency, community right-to-know issues are typically handled by government transparency or environmental protection agencies, and intrastate transportation issues by private carriers would likely be handled by transportation departments or companies.
