PlumeRae - Plume Measurement
and Prediction from Rae Systems

Decision Support for First Responders

The Challenge

Releases of toxic materials present first responders with an immediate challenge - determining what actions need to be taken to protect nearby populations. They must answer a number of questions:

Where is the toxic plume headed and in what concentration?
What areas need to be evacuated?
Who should shelter in place?
What roads should be closed?
How do we prioritize actions with limited resources available?

The Solution

Industry leaders Rae Systems, Safer Systems and Coastal Environmental Systems have teamed to create PlumeRae - a unique, turn key solution that allows rapid monitoring and assessment of situations involving the release of hazardous substances.

Plume Measurement

PlumeRae gives first responder information to make crucial decisions.

GPS equipped AreaRae wireless monitors placed in strategic locations measure the levels of critical toxic chemicals and communicate their measurements to a ProRae Remote Base Station.

ProRae Remote, running on a standard laptop computer, feeds this information to the Plume Measurement Software that is running on the same PC.

Weather data transmitted by a Coastal Environmental Systems Weatherpak completes the information package needed for analysis.

The Plume Measurement Software, developed by Safer Systems, integrates the information and shows users a picture of the toxic plume, the speed at which it is spreading and the concentration of the toxic compound.

Decision Support

PlumeRae gives first responders the information they need along with decision support so that they can answer critical questions and take immediate, effective action.

First Responders can:
