Any release, small or large, of hazardous material is an emergency situation. Ensuring the safety of employees, the community and property becomes priority one. The size of the breach typically has a direct bearing on the intensity and complexity of the response. In these situations, when adrenaline is surging and emergency responders are scrambling, the most important factor to consider is the "human one." To us, this means that the technology must be designed around how people will most intuitively want to use the tools in this physical and emotional setting. After all, solutions that require multiple manual procedures for the collection, analysis, reporting and sharing of data may perform OK in tests. However, when the danger and threat to life is real and every second counts, these solutions typically add tension and complexity to the process, while reducing response times. This is unacceptable and is why ensuring ease of operation, especially when operators are under stress, is mission critical to our philosophy.

Access to Critical Data is Made Simple.

We have gone to great lengths to "hide" the sophistication and complexity of our systems. Most data aggregation and system functionality is automated, so all relevant data is assembled, analyzed, reported and visualized with a few mouse clicks. The ability to share or email up-to-date incident information is built-in and equally basic. The overall system design enables a wide variety of users, from lab techs and engineers to EOC personnel, to quickly learn how to effectively use it, even when faced with the stress of a chemical emergency. As a result, your response team will be able to easily access accurate, real-time data that speeds the process of generating reliable answers to critical questions, such as:

• What is the source and rate of release?
• Will the release reach the community or industrial neighbors and at what concentration levels?
• Should you evacuate or shelter in place?
• Where can first responders be deployed safely?
• What is the best approach to the scene?
• Where should sampling occur?
• How will the weather, terrain and structures impact the release?
• What roads should be closed?
• Which public venues and residential areas may be at risk?
• What are primary and secondary areas of concern?
• Will the emergency operations center be in the impact area?

Complete "One Screen Command" Visualization

All the data in the world is useless if its scope and impact can’t be quickly grasped. For this reason we’ve made it possible to take command with one computer screen. All primary data fields and graphics are displayed in an easy to view arrangement. Audible alarms and light indicators provide further prompts and intuitive guidance. More detailed reports and secondary data are never more than a click or two away. Personnel in other offices or remote locations can also be networked in, enabling them to view the Real-Time situation on their screens.

Advanced "Plume-Centric" Modeling

It’s the most basic request from someone in charge of an incident when there is a significant release. They want to know where the plume is and its projected impact. Real-Time’s advanced plume modeling functionality addresses this request better than any other product. It automatically collects and analyzes data relating to the rate of release, weather, terrain, chemical properties, GIS and gas sensor input. In turn, it uses these real-time data feeds to generate models of a plume’s direction and concentrations that are self-validated for accuracy. The on-screen rendering of the plume model is equally impressive. Color-coding makes it easy to grasp critical data "at-a-glance." The graphics are also "Plume-Centric." The value of this becomes clear when comparing it to other plume modeling programs. They predominantly display the plume as a small dot on a large scale map that spans miles. When zooming in, the plume model loses resolution and pixilates, making it nearly impossible to see the exact boundaries of impact. In contrast, Real-Time automatically scales the map to the size and shape of the plume, making visibility of its current and projected impact boundaries very clear.

Validated Documentation with Historical Archiving

Whether for documenting a full-scale release or analyzing the accuracy of an odor complaint, SAFER Systems’ technology has you covered. Our systems automatically collect, record and archive all the relevant meteorological and sensor data. This information can be used in legal proceedings to validate or refute the legitimacy of claims as well as to substantiate the rationale for emergency response actions when they are evaluated or reviewed after the fact.
