CAMEO (Computer-Aided Management of Emergency Operations) is a software application used for emergency planning and response.

Down to its basics, it is a database application where you can keep track of information (anything that might be environmentally related such as chemical inventories and safety measures are taken.

You can use this data to assist in emergency response and planning in any given community and is especially useful for those who want to meet the provisions of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA).

Cameo is a software suite made up of a collection of programs created to assist authorities in handling emergencies of a chemical nature. For example, it gives access to chemical properties and response information, it can model the potential chemical release, display key locations and release predictions on a map and can even manage planning data.

All you have to do is enter the information manually into the database or by importing a Tier2 Submit™ file ( a proprietary file type used by all facilities that complete Tier II forms under the EPCRA.

Twelve data management modules can be accessed straight from the main screen along with all the other apps included in the CAMEO suite (CAMEO Chemicals hazardous chemical database, the ALOHA® hazard modeling tool, and the MARPLOT® mapping program).
