In the Emergency Response Guide (ERG), what color is associated with distance?

In the Emergency Response Guide (ERG), the color associated with distance is green. This color is specifically used in the context of providing information on safe distances to be maintained during hazardous incidents, particularly for evacuation and isolation. The green section in the ERG will give responders guidelines for determining safe perimeters and distances when dealing with chemical spills or other hazardous materials.

The use of green to indicate safe distances helps responders quickly and effectively identify the appropriate action to take in a given emergency scenario, allowing them to protect themselves and the public. In contrast, other colors in the ERG, such as red or yellow, serve different purposes, such as identifying hazards or specific information related to substances, rather than distance.
