This work proposes the application of Geomatics in support to actions of fast response to environmental emergencies derived from incidents in transportation of dangerous goods on Brazilian roadways. The national cargo transportation network utilizes, mainly, the road modal, which responds for aproximately 60% of the total volume transported. Following this modal utilization, the majority of dangerous goods flows through the roads as well. Despite the use of all safety procedures in the packing and handling stages of dangerous goods transport operations, there is always the possibility of incidents, specially in trips from origins to final destinations. This possibility or, in other words, this potential threat, obviously gives rise to risks to the integrity of assets and health of communities located alongside the roads. In addition to that, environmental risks also arise in the form of contamination of the soil, the air and the surface and underground water. This work, by integrating technological resources, such as Remote Sensing, Global Positioning System (GPS), and Geoprocessing, suggests the implantation of a georreferenced information system, which provides the elements needed for actions of fast response to these events. The proposed system, termed the Territorial Information Bureau, has a structure built to solve problems related with the positioning of sites on the earth surface. It integrates the Geomatics concepts through the application of its four basic stages: data collection, data analysis, information distribution and information use. Thus, complying with the mobility principle, the system still aims at displaying on laptop screen the necessary information for the planning and the execution of actions of response to these events, at the shortest time possible. On the other hand, considering that the Bureau provides, through an Internet connection, the necessary information to those organizations involved in the actions of response to road incidents, it is expected a maximization of benefits of the planning of the preventive and corrective actions of response, as well as a minimization of the effects of such events on the population, assets and the environment.
