Hazardous Materials Incident Data
 

HMIS incident data received at DOT by September-25-2008 is distributed in eight data files:
  
  ireport, ievent, iaction, shipper, material, package, pkglayer,  and pkgfail
  
  
These data files are in two formats, dBase IV or ASCII "tab delimited" text files.  
  The dBase IV files are in individual zip/exe files, due to size constraints.
  The ASCII text files are in one zip/exe file: 2006ascii
  
  
  
The number of records and file size for these files are:
 
File Name		   Number of Records		File Size
 
ireport                      20,338                   23.2M

For distribution, these files have been compressed with file compression software into three corresponding .zip files.  The .zip files have also been converted into self-extracting files, which have an .exe extension.

Windows Users:
	Click on each .exe file to download it.  
	Save the files in a new or empty directory on your local hard drive.
	Double-click each file (in Windows Explorer or My Computer) to extract the .dbf files.


Macintosh Users:
	Click on each .zip file to download it.    
	Save the files in a new or empty directory on your local hard drive.
	Use any file compression utility that can read .zip files to access and extract the .dbf files.
