OREIS™ Mobile and AccuWeather™

HAZMAT & Severe Weather Info on a Handset

OREIS™ Mobile and AccuWeather.com Premium v.4.0™ comprise an innovative joint application developed for wireless/PDA handheld platforms, to provide on-scene responders instantaneous hazardous materials guidance and severe weather information in emergencies.

OREIS™ Mobile

The Operation Respond Emergency Information System (OREIS™) software is currently deployed by more than 56,000 organizations and individual responders throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico, and is now available wirelessly in the form of OREIS Mobile.

The OREIS™ Mobile wireless software provides real-time hazmat contents of rail cars and rail-carried intermodal containers that may be involved in an incident to the on-scene officer or supervisor's wireless device, and provides secure wireless access to major railroads for independent hazardous materials cargo confirmation. In addition, OREIS™ Mobile contains response guidance for dealing with specific chemicals under varying conditions, and includes other resources allowing responders to save time and lives in any incident. OREIS™ Mobile includes placard and UN ID guides, as well as the US Coast Guard's CHRIS system, the Association of American Railroads' Chemical List, NIOSH's Target Organs Guide, WMD Chem/Bio information and other data sources for safe chemical incident response by law enforcement, fire and EMS, and to help ensure effective follow-up by emergency room, hospital and public health managers.

Accuweather™

Severe weather phenomena are often encountered when conducting disaster relief, fire, EMS, rescue, Homeland Security and accident/incident operations. Responders may be faced with high winds, intense thunderstorms, tornadoes, flash floods or dangerous lightning strikes, among others. Each presents unique dangers that must be considered by responders and incident commanders, requiring prompt decision making and action.

AccuWeather provides a wide variety of nationally-renowned severe weather monitoring and alerting products and capabilities. Deployment of these capabilities through a coordinated statewide program will afford emergency responders new safeguards and heightened personal protection by affording greater warning of severe weather phenomena that may affect their operations - essential elements in on-scene safety for response personnel. These enhanced capabilities, designed especially for response and recovery decision making, will allow on-scene responders to have more time to consider and take appropriate defensive actions to safeguard themselves and the public.
