About HazMat Evac
The HAZMAT Evac App displays the Isolation and Protection Zones in accordance with the 2012 Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) developed jointly by Transport Canada (TC), the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), the Secretariat of Transport and Communications of Mexico (SCT) and with the collaboration of CIQUIME (Centro de Información Química para Emergencias) of Argentina.
Features of the app include:
•Displays Isolation and Protection zones overlaid on Google Maps
•Automatically retrieves current weather from Weatherbug (www.weather.weatherbug.com) or forecast weather from the National Weather Service (US only) or Meteorologisk Institutt (Worldwide); weather can also be user input or input using the phone’s compass functionality
•Location input via address look-up, GPS location, coordinate input, or through a map interface
•Results shown geographically as well as text based
•Search and display predefined points of interest (schools, nurseries, hospitals, police/fire stations, and government facilities) from Google Search services to identify key facilities within the incident area
•Run roadblock analysis service that identifies within seconds the optimal location of roadblocks to isolate the incident area
•Place and label points on the map to identify key locations
•Automatically creates email capturing incident details, map image, and zone shapefiles and KML files for the user to send without leaving the application, providing a shared understanding across all incident personnel
•Shapefile and KML files are easily imported into other map applications like WebEOC or Google Earth
•Includes ERG reference information for easy access
•Provides access to approximately 3,300 materials; allows sorting alphabetically and by chemical number, user defined search text, and filtering by user-defined favorites
•Provides in-app contact list for direct calling that includes all contacts listed in the 2012 ERG

I have purchased the app and i cant install as it always states an unknown error occurred and it can load. I have the other app from this company and its awesome.

Just like the ERG it is modeling it is great for the first 15 minutes. I have used it several times now on real scenes to get my general evac zone. I make sure to document that it is my initial response as it is so much faster and easier to use that Aloha/Cameo.

Can't ask for much more -- fast, simple, and powerful. The ability to email your results (picture and kml files) is great to disseminate to the rest of the responders. Anyone responding to HAZMAT spills should check this out.

Very good app. My only suggestion is to add a "railcar" selection to size of spill area. The size of evacs change immensely with rail incidents.

As far as I can tell, it uses the forecast wind direction from NOAA - at least for my local weather. These forecasts are available in three hour increment, so it models where the plume could be in three hours, not now. Manual entry works, in 22.5 degree increments (half-winds). Good until the weather station is up and someone is running a real ALOHA analyis (or whatever model you use). So, as always, do a reality check on the wind first.

A must-have program for all first responders. If you are using Aloha/Cameo now, you'll appreciate the usefulness, automation & speed of this app.
