What should a CERT member do when encountering a vehicle with a DOT, UN or NA placard?

Like the NFPA 704 Diamond, the DOT, UN, and NA placards should be a “stop sign” for CERT members.

You should always err on the side of safety.

DO NOT assume that, because there is no placard, no hazardous materials are present.

Treat any unknown situation as a hazardous materials incident.
