Built in HazMat Mapping

GeoLynx EOC contains hazardous materials handling protocol and mapping capabilities. GeoLynx EOC includes support for uploading US EPA ALOHA chemical cloud footprint threat zones and includes the 2008 DOT Emergency Response Guidebook built into the application.

ALOHA

Chemical cloud footprints can be mapped directly in GeoLynx EOC to identify vulnerable locations such as hospitals, schools, and residents. With the Emergency Notification System option, GeoLynx EOC can generate outbound telephone, e-mail, and SMS text notifications to affected areas.

Emergency Response Guidebook

GeoLynx EOC includes the 2008 Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG2008) built into the software. The Emergency Response Guidebook is developed jointly by the US Department of Transportation, Transport Canada, and the Secretariat of Communications and Transportation of Mexico (SCT) for use by firefighters, police, and other emergency response personnel who may be first on the scene to a hazardous materials incident. To date, nearly nine million paper copies have been distributed to state and local public safety authorities. GeoLynx EOC automates use of the Emergency Response Guidebook with quick search and type ahead features, in addition to drawing initial and downwind isolation protocols on the map display in the Web browser. GeoLynx EOC, with the Emergency Notification System add-on, can then provide mass notifications to residents in an effected area via telephone.
