Critical Issue

"Time is of the essence. A hazmat incident can go from stable to out-of-control in seconds. My chief needs answers immediately to make the right decisions." – Captain of Hazmat Technicians, County Hazmat Team

Reasons for the Problem

Predictive models and other crucial hazmat tools require extensive data to be entered manually by the small sub-set of responders trained and qualified to do so.

Despite significant preplanning capabilities, this critical response information is not available in real-time to the field commander.

Impact

• Models are used only for larger incidents where enough resources are available for a "second" response.
• Responders are often guessing as to what the real threats are, sometimes creating dangerous situations by handling symptoms instead of the real cause.
• Both the responders and the public are at higher risk of injury or death.

The ADASHI 3.0 Solution

ADASHI 3.0 provides real-time street-level visualization of the incident and its associated hazards. This helps the first response team predict the hazmat’s consequences and quickly evacuate and transport the area’s residents.

The software also provides:

• Street-level hazard visualization completely automated using decisive tools such as EPA’s CAMEO/ALOHA
• Contextually available preplans including auto-population of dispersion models from fixed site repository records
• Sensor integration and tracking
• Recommendations for PPE (personal protection equipment)

Benefits

ADASHI 3.0 requires little or no input to provide visual hazard estimations. Preplans are automatically utilized, if available; worst case estimations if not. The right information is available immediately, providing optimum protection to both responders and the public.
