What Does PAZ Stand For?
PAZ stands for Protective Action Zone
PAZ, or Protective Action Zone, refers to a designated area established for the purpose of safeguarding individuals and assets during emergency situations. This zone is typically defined based on the potential impact of hazardous events, such as chemical spills or radiological incidents, and is designed to facilitate effective evacuation, sheltering, or other protective measures. The PAZ ensures coordinated response efforts and enhances overall public safety by providing clear guidelines for both emergency responders and the affected population.
