Jason..you might try contacting the Pine Bluff Arsenal in Pine Bluff Arkansas.If you can't locate their address off the internet you can obtain it from a local National Guard Armory.I'm sure they would be able to provide some very useful info for you. Good luck

Jason, When I was updating our SOP, I just entered "Chemical Weapons" into Yahoo and got back allot of hits. Try it! A couple of web addresses I use:
http://www.scorecard.org
www.rtk.net
www.epa.gov/ERNS/index.html
http://waste.hazard.org
http://gnv.ifas.ufl.edu/~SOILWEB/msds.htm
http://siri.uvm.edu/msds/

I hope this helps!

Thanks, Mark

Jason:
I know I am a year late in this response, but if you need more info, and haven't attended the Domestic Preparedness training, I can send a CD to you. I can also give you a few good reference books if you would like. E-mail me if you are interested.
