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:
- track and validate plume impact
- Employ intelligent placement tactics for safely locating responders
- Evaluate the toxicological effect on responders and the community
- Create emergency response strategy
- Understand how long the event will persist
- Save the event for post event analysis
