Resources

Emergency responders (as well as programmers developing tools for use with the CAMEO software suite) can find an assortment of helpful guides, software tools, and training information for addressing accidents involving the release of hazardous substances.

Ask Dr. ALOHA

Get to know ALOHA better by reading this series of informational articles that discuss key program features and walk through sample ALOHA scenarios.

Levels of Concern

In ALOHA, an LOC is a threshold value of a hazard (toxicity, flammability, thermal radiation, or overpressure); it's usually the value above which a threat to people or property may exist. For example, toxic LOCs (such as AEGLs, ERPGs, TEELs, and IDLHs) tell you what level of exposure to a chemical could be harmful if you breathe it in for a period of time.

ALOHA Arc Tools

These are tools for displaying ALOHA threat zones in ArcMap and ArcView.

FOSC's Guide to NOAA Scientific Support

This publication, for oil and chemical spill responders, describes the products and services that the NOAA Scientific Support Team can provide to Federal On-Scene Coordinators (FOSCs).

CAMEO Training

Each year, thousands of first responders and emergency planners are trained to use programs in the CAMEO software suite in classes led by more than 100 CAMEO-certified instructors.

ALOHA Resources for Programmers

If you are interested in developing a program or tool to work with ALOHA, here are a few useful documents to review.
