05-025: FALCON: Hazardous Material Emergency Response Decision Support System
Deaton, Frysinger, Kirk
The copyrighted work consists of a concept design and prototype software implementation of an integrated, GIS-based decision support system for emergency prevention and management of hazardous incidents. Integrated elements in the prototype include proof-of-concept prototypes of the following:
• Medical advisory expert system encapsulating a toxicologist's knowledge and experience for real-time diagnosis of victims exposed to hazardous materials
• Geo-referenced chemical inventory database to track inventories of chemicals reported in the community
• Geo-referenced community database to evaluate possible impact of chemical release based on population density and weather conditions
• EMS preparedness assessment instruments to evaluate local community emergency management services preparedness with respect to chemical events
• Security and preparedness assessment instruments to evaluate the level of security in facilities where chemicals are stored
• Comprehensive risk models for evaluating community risks from hazardous chemicals
