// Strategic Significance

Marcus Hook on the Delaware River south of Philadelphia hosts a major refinery and petrochemical complex that has operated for over 100 years. The complex processes ethane from Marcellus Shale natural gas liquids and serves as a major LNG and industrial gas hub for the Northeast.

// Civilian Impact Assessment

Philadelphia metro with 6 million people is 15 miles north. Delaware River flooding from major storms creates chemical spill risk. The dense Northeast population amplifies any chemical release.

// Evacuation & Shelter Guidance

I-95, US-322. Delaware County Emergency Management coordinates industrial emergency response with Philadelphia metro protocols.
