New Combustion Analysis Model (CAM) Now Available!

If you are an industrial facility that deals with toxic chemicals, a public first response organization or a government agency concerned about industrial and transportation-related fires and their impact on facilities, the local populous and the environment, you’ll want to get to know CAM! CAM is the analysis and decision support tool for those involved in preparing for, responding to and assessing the health, safety and environmental impacts of industrial and transportation-related chemical fires.

SAFER Systems’ Responder series provides patented, field-tested technology that adds significant capabilities to the tactical decision making of response teams faced with controlling chemical emergencies, whether accidental or intentional. Rather than providing a “rough best guess” at what is occurring or might occur during a chemical release event, as some other products do, the Responder series provides a real-world view of what is or might happen using available real-time meteorological and gas sensor data.

The technology is easy to use and understand. It is customizable for any country or territory and is available in numerous languages as well as metric and English units of measure.

Products designed for use by national, regional, and local entities providing emergency planning, management and response, including:

  • Fire Fighters and other Public First Responders
  • Military and Civil Defense/Support Teams
  • Environmental and Emergency Management Agencies

Proven effective in these environments:

  • Chemical Transportation
  • Venue Protection
  • Ports
  • Hazmat & Emergency Response
  • Local, State, Regional and National Civil Defense
  • Air Quality Control/Environmental Protection

Designed to bring calm, confidence and ease to the process of rapidly neutralizing a dangerous situation.

  • Access to Critical Data is Made Simple
  • Complete “One Screen Command” Visualization Displays the Critical Information You Need All in One Place
  • Rapid Data Collection & Comprehensive Reporting Eliminates Guesswork
  • Advanced “Plume-Centric” Measurement and Monitoring Means Plume Concentrations and Current/Projected Impact Boundaries can be Updated and Clearly Shown at the Proper Level of Detail
  • Validated Event Documentation with Historical Archiving for Post-Event Analysis and Claim Validation

With Homeland and Hazmat Responder, you can quickly answer these important questions:

  • Where can the emergency command post safely be established?
  • 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 and terrain 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?

Now you have the ability to communicate the incident area en route

Using the products’ Site Manager feature, response teams can quickly define the incident area and communicate the potential threat zone while en route, regardless of where or when the release occurs. This enables responders to generate a detailed incident area map that includes important receptor locations such as schools, hospitals and municipal buildings. Using WeatherBug® Professional, live internet weather data from the weather station(s) in closest proximity to the incident can be seamlessly integrated. In total, this information allows the path of the plume to be quickly tracked and projected. This is vital to giving first responders an upper hand in determining who should be warned and how the team should approach the incident scene and properly place the staging areas.

Products packed with an unrivaled set of innovative features unavailable in any other single mobile response solution, including:

  • An array of standard models covering things like fire & explosion, multi-component evaporation, building infiltration & exfiltration, tank & pipe, dispersion, complex terrain, particulate and specialized chemicals like HF and TiCl4.
  • Advanced Back Calculation® (ABC) — our patented technology for release rate estimation
  • Internet Weather — incorporate streaming weather feeds from around the world via Weatherbug® Professional. This fills a critical gap for national, regional, state and county responders after they get the call and are traveling to the scene. It helps with early analysis, enabling resource staging and deployment decisions to be made en route for a faster, more effective response.
  • Google Earth/Google Maps support — display a geo-coded plume within the mapping and GIS tools offered by Google®. This creates simple and accurate visualization of an event that can be shared via email or through a live network connection. Multiple emergency responders can then share and work from accurate information, accessible from basic, widely used tools.
  • Source Area Locator™ (patent pending) — In some cases, emergency responders may be aware there is a release but aren’t sure where it’s coming from. Source Area Locator solves this by using advanced algorithms to analyze real-time meteorological data in conjunction with chemical release data being fed in by gas sensors. Similar to how our system uses this data to project the path of a plume moving forward, it can do the same in reverse to identify the source area of the release. This information puts release neutralization and community and venue protection on the fast track. Those in charge will instantly have the knowledge to determine ideal evacuation routes, shelter options and resource deployment.
  • Open Path Technology can integrate data feeds from Open Path sensors. This technology is an excellent detection and protection measure.

SAFER Systems’ Homeland and Hazmat Responder — There’s no better way to be prepared to control a chemical emergency than with this 24 hour a day mobile response tool that’s always ready to help you make the right decisions before, during and after an incident.
