SAFER™ Response: Emergency Response Decision Support

See the Hazard. Understand the Impact. Respond with Confidence.

SAFER Response helps fire departments, HazMat teams, and emergency management agencies quickly visualize the potential impact of a hazardous-material release and access ERG-informed guidance when time and information are limited.

Decisions Cannot Wait

Emergency responders often arrive on a scene with incomplete information, rapidly changing conditions, and only minutes to assess the potential impact.

SAFER Response brings critical incident information together so teams can quickly answer:  

  • Where might the hazard travel?

  • Who could be affected?

  • What protective actions should be considered?

  • How far should responders and the public remain from the hazard?
