Disaster Debris Recovery Tool (EPA) |
The debris recovery tool will assist federal, state, local and tribal emergency personnel to quickly identify recycling, composting, and disposal facilities near affected areas that may be able to accept disaster debris. The recovery tool can also assist with debris management planning by identifying potential facilities before a disaster occurs, which can help communities recover faster.
Please visit EPA's Planning for Natural Disaster Debris guide and managing materials and wastes for homeland security incidents website for more information about waste management for homeland security and smaller incidents.

National Pipeline Mapping System (DOT PHMSA) |
The National Pipeline Mapping System (NPMS) is a dataset containing locations of and information about gas transmission and hazardous liquid pipelines and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plants which are under the jurisdiction of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). The NPMS also contain voluntarily submitted breakout tank data. The data is used by PHMSA for emergency response, pipeline inspections, regulatory management and compliance, and analysis purposes. It is used by government officials, pipeline operators, and the general public for a variety of tasks including emergency response, smart growth planning, critical infrastructure protection, and environmental protection.

Environmental Response Management Application® (NOAA) |
Environmental Response
Management Application® (ERMA®) is an online mapping tool that integrates
both static and real-time data, such as Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI)
maps, ship locations, weather, and ocean currents, in a centralized, easy-to-use
format for environmental responders and decision makers.

National Streamstats and Travel Time Application (USGS) |
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) released a beta version of a travel time application for streams and rivers across the United States. This web-based mapping application can be used to estimate plume trajectories and travel times in rivers. The application was funded by the Department of the Interior's (DOI) Inland Oil Spill Preparedness Program.

Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) |
The Agency for Toxic
Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), based in Atlanta, Georgia, is a federal
public health agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
ATSDR serves the public by using the best science, taking responsive public
health actions, and providing trusted health information to prevent harmful
exposures and diseases related to toxic substances.

Envirofacts (EPA) |
Envirofacts contains chemical data from several different program system
databases: the Aerometric Information Retrieval System, the Permit Compliance
System, and the Toxics Release Inventory System. The Envirofacts Master
Chemical Integrator (EMCI) identifies the chemicals in these systems. Using this
integrator, you can learn details about a chemical substance, such as chemical
names, discharge limits, and reported releases without knowing how the chemical
is identified in the various program office systems throughout the Envirofacts
database.

Computer-Aided Management of Emergency Operations (EPA) |
Computer-Aided Management of Emergency Operations (CAMEO) is a system of software
applications used to plan for and respond to chemical emergencies. Developed by
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to assist front-line chemical emergency
planners and responders, CAMEO can access, store, and evaluate information
critical for developing emergency plans.
