A rapid deployment containment tank includes an inflatable container and a self-contained compressed gas source. The container defines a liquid chamber and an open top through which a liquid passes into the liquid chamber. The container is shiftable between a deflated configuration and an inflated configuration. The container includes a flexible base wall and a flexible sidewall cooperating to define the liquid chamber. The sidewall projects from the base wall along an interface and includes an air chamber. The air chamber includes a plurality of tubular columns spaced apart along the interface. The compressed gas source is coupled to the container and is fluidly connected to the air chamber to supply a compressed gas for inflating the container. The tubular columns are fillable with the compressed gas to cause the sidewall to lift upwardly from the base wall, as the container shifts from the deflated configuration to the inflated configuration.

Material spill remediation packages (16, 40) designed to counteract particular, different types of material releases or spills are provided having spill control assemblies (18, 41) within vacuumized casings (20) and including respective color-coordinated displays (22, 42) and detachable labels (26, 46) for particular spill or release materials. In use, possible locations of material spills are identified and the appropriate labels (26, 46) are applied at or near these locations, prior to the occurrence of any spill. In the event of a spill, the appropriate spill control assembly (18, 41) can be readily identified by matching the color of the label (26, 46) and the color-coded display (22, 42) associated with the appropriate package (16, 40). This allows rapid, error-free response to both hazardous and non-hazardous material releases or spills, even by relatively unskilled personnel.
