| CAMEO- data loading
|
| • The user can manually
enter data into CAMEO; however, error messages were received when
the evaluator attempted to manually enter data into the demonstration
program. |
| • The software can also
import mer files. |
|
| CAMEO - graphic loading
|
| • This function was not evaluated. |
|
| CAMEO - logical flow
|
| • All functions are
clearly labeled in CAMEO. |
| |
| CAMEO - expert knowledge
|
| • Expert knowledge of
emergency response is required to understand and use information
in CAMEO. |
| |
| CAMEO - functionality
|
| • CAMEO can be used
to assist front-line chemical emergency responders. |
| • CAMEO helps users
meet the chemical inventory reporting requirements of the Emergency
Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act. |
| • CAMEO can be used
in conjunction with MARPLOT (mapping), ALOHA (air modeling), and
LANDVIEW (census information and demographics). |
| • User can determine
reactivity of chemicals. |
| |
| CAMEO - new or updated features |
| • The look of the new CAMEO (Version 1.1.3) is different from the previous version. It is organized in a similar fashion, with Facility Information, Chemicals in Inventory, Special Locations, and Screening and Scenarios modules for storing Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) data. It has been updated to allow import of Tier2*Submit 2005 files. The Chemical Library was updated with the latest Acute Exposure Guideline Level (AEGL) values. |
| • The latest version of ALOHA (v5.4) has added the ability to model the hazards associated with fires and explosions. With this major update, users can now estimate the hazards associated with jet fires (flares), pool fires, vapor cloud explosions (VCE), Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosions (BLEVEs), and flammable regions (flashfires), as well as toxic threats. The users manual was completely updated to include extensive material associated with fires and explosions. |
| • MARPLOT has been upgraded to Version 3.3.2. It now correctly displays ALOHA's multiple footprints. |
| |
| CAMEO - documentation
|
| • Users manual and demonstration
lead user through various windows in CAMEO; however, several functions
in the demonstration program did not appear to be functional. |
| • Help window. |
| |
| CAMEO - output |
| • CAMEO has the capability
to print a facility report; however, the evaluator was unable to
print the demonstration report. |
| • CAMEO has the capability
to print site maps; however, the evaluator was unable to print the
site maps included with the demonstration. |
| |
| CAMEO - installation |
| • All data added to CAMEO (such as facility data) must be backed up before the new version is installed. User should export all data from the CAMEO Navigator. Installing the new version will overwrite all the data files in the CAMEO folder. This process should not affect links to MARPLOT or Site Plans, but backing up the CAMEOMAP folder and the Site Plans folder is a reasonable precaution also. |
