Software application for emergency responders, SAFER 2.0

The SAFER 2.0 was developed as a web based information system for the First Responders involved in dealing with the hazardous materials incidents. The software tool enables First Responders to view and identify the substances involved in a hazard via a secure Internet connection. The tool also aids in identifying the unknown substances based on the physical description (color, odor, texture, gas/liquid, etc.), symptoms and other information available at the site of the incident. The system is based on the 2004 North American Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG2004) and NIOSH Pocket Guide (NPG). ERG2004 was developed for use by firefighters, police, and other emergency services personnel who may be the first to arrive at the scene of a transportation incident involving a hazardous material. The NPG presents key information and data for 677 chemicals.;The software tool was implemented using the latest technology available i.e. ASP.NET 2.0 as the front-end and SQL Server 2005 as the database. The key features of the system are: (1) Easy to use, (2) Easy and rapid access to information during a critical incident, (3) Identification of unknown substances, and (4) Protection of First Responders and general public

CERCLIS

This public health assessment (PHA) evaluates past, current and potential future exposures to contaminants and other conditions related to the Peninsula Boulevard Groundwater plume. This PHA fulfills the congressional mandate that requires public health assessment activities for each site proposed to the National Priorities List (NPL). The New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH), under a cooperative agreement with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), conducted this evaluation. More specifically, ATSDR, a federal agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and NYS DOH determine whether adverse health effects are possible and recommend actions to reduce or prevent possible adverse health effects. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986, authorizes ATSDR to conduct public health assessments at inactive hazardous waste disposal sites proposed for the NPL. The Peninsula Boulevard groundwater plume was proposed for the NPL in March of 2004 and listed on the NPL in July of 2004.Prepared by New York State Department of Health, Center for Environmental Health under a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, Division of Health Assessment and Consultation Superfund and Program Assessment Branch.Summary -- Purpose and health issues -- Background -- A.
