TRANSPORTATION RISKS

Transportation corridors provide necessary access and egress for the department. The configuration of transportation systems can also affect the response capability of emergency services. Limited access freeways and rail lines can interrupt street connectivity, forcing apparatus to negotiate¹ a circuitous route² to reach an emergency scene.

1. negotiate: 除了「談判、磋商」外，有「設法穿過某個困難的地形」之意 ↩︎
2. circuitous: 迂迴的，可指物理上的迂迴(例如道路)，亦可指抽象的婉轉(例如：這是比較迂迴的講法 this is a circuitous way of saying that…) ↩︎
