OR&R Budget Overview For the past four years, OR&R's annual appropriation has been 30 percent less than the President's budget request. These budget cuts continue to affect OR&R's ability to execute its core mission responsibilities. |

Software & Data Sets for Other Agencies supporting NOAA's Emergency Response Program Pages on our site that provide access to software created by the Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R) to aid first responders, planners, and restoration practitioners. |
ALOHA
Overview of ALOHA, a modeling program that estimates hazards (toxicity, flammability, thermal radiation, and overpressure) after a chemical release. |
CAMEO
Overview of CAMEO, a database application for hazardous chemicals. Search for response recommendations in the chemical library, predict hazardous reactions, and manage EPCRA data. |
The Chemical Reactivity Worksheet
The Worksheet is a free program you can use to find out about the reactivity of substances and mixtures of substances. Version 1.9.2 is now available for download. |
MARPLOT
Overview of MARPLOT, CAMEO's mapping program. Create, view, and modify maps. |
CAMEO Software Suite Programs
Tools for emergency responders and planners, including CAMEO, CAMEO Chemicals, ALOHA, and MARPLOT. |
ALOHA's Limitations
Even when you provide the best input values possible, ALOHA (like any model) can be unreliable in certain situations, and it cannot model some types of releases at all. |
Working with ALOHA
Brief explanation of how ALOHA helps you get the hazard model information you need quickly during an emergency response. |
Threat Zones and Other Output
Discussion of output from the ALOHA hazard model: threat zone plot, text summary, threat at a point, and source strength. |
