CAMEO Software Suite Programs

Emergency responders suit up in protective gear to respond to a chemical spill.

The CAMEO software products have been valuable hazardous materials response and planning tools since the first products were introduced in 1986.

The CAMEO software suite consists of three core programs: CAMEO, ALOHA, and MARPLOT. These applications can be used together or separately, but when they are used together, the programs interact seamlessly and information can be linked easily between them. In 2007, CAMEO Chemicals--an online version of the most popular parts of CAMEO--was introduced.

In addition to these core programs, there are a variety of other programs that can be used with the CAMEO software suite. Click on any of the links below to find out more about the CAMEO software suite and associated programs.

 

CAMEO Software Suite
  • CAMEO A database application that includes a chemical library with response recommendations for more than 6,000 chemicals, a reactivity hazards prediction tool, and several modules to assist with data management requirements under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act.
  • CAMEO Chemicals An online version of the most popular parts of CAMEO. Search for chemicals in the CAMEO chemical database, print customized reports with response recommendations, and find out how chemicals would react if they mixed.
  • ALOHA A modeling application that estimates threat zones associated with hazardous chemical releases, including toxic gas clouds, fires, and explosions.
  • MARPLOT A mapping program with which you can create, view, and modify maps quickly and easily.

CAMEO-Related Software
  • LandView A database management system that uses MARPLOT as its GIS display. Database information includes Environmental Protection Agency-regulated sites, U.S. Census demographics, and U.S. Geology Survey geographic name information.
  • Tier2 Submit A program that generates an electronic chemical inventory Tier II facility report, which can be used to automatically update the facility information in CAMEO.
  • RMP*Comp A tool to help facilities complete the offsite consequence analysis that is required as part of the Risk Management Plan.
  • The Chemical Reactivity Worksheet A program that allows you to see what reactions might occur when pairs of chemicals are mixed together. You can virtually mix any of the chemicals from the CAMEO chemical database, add reactive groups to the mix, print the resulting hazards in a reactivity report, and store collections of virtually mixed chemicals.
