Information about hazardous materials will be shared between state and tribal officials in an emergency response commission for the first time in the nation, according to a news release.

The State of Arizona and the Gila River Indian Community entered into an agreement to share reports involving hazardous chemical inventories, according to the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs news release.

The reports will be used by emergency planners and first responders who deal with chemical emergencies, according to the release.

These reports document inventories of hazardous materials on industrial and business properties.

The agreement was signed by the Arizona State Emergency Response Commission and Tribal Gov. William R. Rhodes on Feb. 25, according to the release.
