This software offers instant assistance during chemical crises by providing a reliable system.
CAMEO is a comprehensive set of software applications designed specifically for responding to and planning for chemical emergencies. Developed by the EPA's Office of Emergency Management and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office of Response and Restoration, CAMEO is a critical tool for front-line chemical emergency planners and responders.
The software allows users to access, store, and evaluate information critical for developing emergency plans, and it also assists with regulatory compliance. With CAMEO, users can easily meet the chemical inventory reporting requirements of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (also known as SARA Title III).
CAMEO works seamlessly with a separate software application called LandView to support analysis of environmental justice issues. The system integrates a chemical database and a method to manage the data, an air dispersion model, and a mapping capability. All the modules interact with each other to share and display critical information in real-time.
CAMEO is available in both Macintosh and Windows formats. It was initially developed to assist first responders with easily accessible and accurate response information, and since its inception, CAMEO has been enhanced to assist both emergency responders and planners.
The Bureau of Census and the U.S. Coast Guard collaborated with NOAA and EPA to continue the system development. The software is used by a variety of organizations, including firefighters, state emergency response commissions, local emergency planning committees, industry, schools, environmental organizations, and police departments.
Overall, CAMEO is an essential tool for anyone involved in chemical emergency planning and response. It provides users with the necessary information and tools they need to develop comprehensive emergency plans and respond effectively to chemical emergencies.
