A new version of MARPLOT is available at

http://www.epa.gov/emergencies/content/cameo/marplot.htm

MARPLOT® (Mapping Application for Response, Planning, and Local Operational Tasks) is a

general-purpose mapping application program that allows you to create, view, and modify maps quickly and easily. It also allows you to link objects on your computer maps to data in other programs.

What is MARPLOT?

_ General-purpose mapping application program

_ Used for creating, viewing, and modifying maps

_ Links objects to data in other programs

_ Used with CAMEO or LandView™ applications

_ Contains information that can be shown on a map

MARPLOT is part of CAMEO’s suite of three separate, integrated software applications

» MARPLOT – Mapping application

» CAMEO – Chemical database and Information modules

» ALOHA – Air dispersion modeling

CAMEO is computer software for chemical emergency planners and responders

Computer-Aided Management of Emergency Operations (CAMEO)

 

EPA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) developed this web site to facilitate the use of CAMEO and to offer online technical support. Please visit periodically for the latest news, information, and resources.

ALOHA (Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres)

ALOHA (Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres) is a computer program designed especially for use by people responding to chemical releases, as well as for emergency planning and training. ALOHA models key hazards—toxicity, flammability, thermal radiation (heat), and overpressure (explosion blast force)—related to chemical releases that result in toxic gas dispersions, fires, and/or explosions. (Note: In versions prior to 5.4, ALOHA only models the toxic threat: specifically, how a toxic gas cloud might disperse in the atmosphere after an accidental chemical release.)

LandView is an innovative “community right-to-know” software tool in the format of an electronic atlas.

LandView has its roots in the CAMEO software (Computer-Aided Management of Emergency Operations). CAMEO was developed by the EPA and the NOAA to facilitate the implementation of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act. This far-reaching law requires communities to develop emergency response plans addressing chemical hazards and to make available to the public information on chemical hazards in the community.

This product contains both database management software and mapping software used in the CAMEO system to create a simple computer mapping system involving two programs - MARPLOT^® and LandView.
