1 Integrated IT Technology for HazMat Incidents Decision Support 8th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE FOR FIRE BRIGADES IN THE HIGH HAZARD INDUSTRY 10 th 11 th November 2015 Danubius Hotel Helia, Budapest Eric Quatreville Regional Business Manager SAFER Systems and the SAFER Systems logo are registered trademarks or trademark of SAFER Systems LLC.

2 Chemical Release: The Challenge What s happening? Where is it coming from? How big is it? Where is it headed? How long will it last? What are the actual downwind concentrations? Where should we stage our resources? Whom should we notify? Whom should we warn? Which areas require evacuation? Can we shelter in place? What roads should be closed? How do we prioritize actions with limited resources? How can we share this information? With the EOC & other responders With the community
