Operational Systems for Emergency Preparedness and Response

https://narac.llnl.gov/uploads/Sugiyama2004_AMS_UrbanZone_155085_cqcdc.pdf

Operational systems predict the consequences of atmospheric releases of hazardous materials for real-time emergency response, pre-event planning, and post-incident assessment. Such systems provide
federal, state, and local agencies, emergency planners and responders, public health officials, military personnel, and other users with critical information on which to base life-and-death decisions on safe zones for siting of incident command posts, sheltering-in-place or evacuation advisories, the need
for protective equipment, and the utilization of hospital and health care resources.
