The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) maintained the Hazardous Substances Emergency Events Surveillance (HSEES) system from 1990 to 2009. The program ended in June 2009 and was replaced by the National Toxic Substance Incidents Program (NTSIP). Six HSEES states funded by NTSIP continued to collect HSEES data through the end of 2009. Under HSEES, state health departments collected information on the public health consequences of acute hazardous substance incidents. These data facilitated national, state, and local preparedness activities for prevention of, and response to, hazardous substance threats. This report summarizes the 3,458 events reported by 13 states during the first half of 2009, the 1,352 events reported by 6 states during the second half of 2009, and the major activities performed by the state programs in 2009.
