Software & Data Sets for Other Agencies supporting Planning for Environmental Emergencies 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. |
CAMEO Toolkit
Tools and information for CAMEO, ALOHA, and MARPLOT users, including frequently asked questions, help aids, and links to Web resources. |
ESI Data in Geodatabase Format
Download the latest GIS data in geodatabase format. |
ESI Viewers
Get the latest ESI Viewers, which were created to make it easier for ESI users (particularly those without access to ESRI's ArcMap software) to view and query digital ESI data. |
ESI Toolbar
Use this suite of add-on tools to help you view and query ESI atlases that have been published in geodatabase format. |
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. |
MARPLOT Maps
Description of the kinds of maps that MARPLOT can use. |
Ask Dr. ALOHA
List of articles about ALOHA. Articles include discussions of key program features and sample ALOHA scenarios. |
GNOME Listserver
A forum for discussions and announcements among users of GNOME, OR&R's spill trajectory software. |
Tier2 Submit
Overview of Tier2 Submit, a software program developed to provide assistance to people who file Tier II reports under EPCRA. Tier2 Submit is fully compatible with CAMEO. |
CAMEO Chemicals
An easy-to-use, online tool for emergency responders and planners. Use this free Web site to search for chemicals, get response recommendations, and find out how chemicals would react if they mixed. |
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. |
Public Exposure Guidelines
Overview of AEGLs, ERPGs, and TEELs and how ALOHA uses these public exposure guidelines as Levels of Concern when modeling a toxic chemical release. |
Workplace Exposure Limits
These limits (such as IDLHs, TLVs, PELs, and RELs) are intended to protect workers from excessive exposure to toxic chemicals in the workplace. |
LandView
Overview of LandView, a geographic data viewer that uses MARPLOT maps. |
People Using CAMEO
Discussion of some of the ways people use CAMEO. |
ALOHA Arc Tools
Tools you can download to import an ALOHA threat zone into ArcView 3.x or ArcMap 8.x or 9.x. |
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. |
Levels of Concern
In ALOHA, an LOC is a threshold value of a hazard (toxicity, flammability, thermal radiation, or overpressure); it’s usually the value above which a threat to people or property may exist. For example, toxic LOCs (such as AEGLs, ERPGs, TEELs, and IDLHs) tell you what level of exposure to a chemical could be harmful if you breathe it in for a period of time. |
Working with ALOHA
Brief explanation of how ALOHA helps you get the hazard model information you need quickly during an emergency response. |
Working with MARPLOT
Discussion of MARPLOT concepts, including map objects, layers, searching, and sharing data with CAMEO. |
RMP*Comp
Overview of RMP*Comp, a program that helps chemical facilities that fall under the Risk Management Planning (RMP) rule complete their required offsite consequence analysis. |
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. |
Trajectory Analysis Planner (TAP)
A software tool designed to help contingency planners protect regions against likely spills. |
