Installing and Updating
IMPORTANT Follow this installation procedure only if you
are installing the complete CAMEO™ 4.0
package. The CAMEO package includes
CAMEO™ 4.0. ALOHA™ 5.1. and MARPLOT™
1.0. If you are installing ALOHA or MARPLOT
only, then follow the Installation procedures
described in their respective manuals.
Introduction
The files in the CAMEO 4.0 package are compressed. You will install
each application in the package separately.
Before installing the CAMEO 4.0 package, check to make sure that you
have all eleven disks. Your package should contain:
<=s» 7 disks containing CAMEO 4.0;
<=& 2 disks containing ALOHA (math coprocessor and non-
coprocessor version);
<=& 1 disk containing MARPLOT; and
£&• 1 disk containing HyperCard™ 2.1 and the Home stack.
1-1
-------
Hard drive space requirements
You will need a minimum of 20 megabytes of available hard disk space
to Install the entire CAMEO package. If, at any time during your
CAMEO installation, you see an alert message saying "Can't write to
destination file," you have run out of space on your hard disk. If you
see this message, delete your partially filled CAMEO™ folder and any
extraneous files from your hard disk until 20 megabytes of space is
available.
Before installing CAMEO
Make sure your disks are locked
Make sure that all your CAMEO™ disks are locked before starting the
installation process. You can tell that a disk is locked if the tab, located
in the corner of the disk, is in the open position. When the tab is in
the open position, you will be able to see through a small, square hole
in the disk. If any disk is not locked, slide the tab to the open position.
Once you have inserted a disk, you can also tell whether it is locked. A
small padlock ( A), located near the left side of the disk window,
appears on a locked disk.
Avoiding installation problems
Certain INITs (system extensions) and virus protection programs can
interfere with the installation of CAMEO. INITs are programs that
start when your computer boots up and run in the background (i.e.
don't appear in MultiFinder's list of currently running applications),
such as screen savers, and are usually located in your system folder).
To avoid installation problems before they occur, we recommend that
you do the following:
System 7
Turn off all virus protection. Restart your system while
holding down the shift key. This will disable all your system
INITs before they can be loaded.
1-2
-------
System
Turn off all virus protection. To disable system INITs, drag
them out of the System folder and into another temporary
location. Restart your computer. (After installing CAMEO you
may replace the INITs and restart your computer.)
Installing Reports™ Runtime
IMPORTANT Follow the steps below to Install Reports™
Runtime, an application that will work with
CAMEO to create printed reports of CAMEO
information. If you have an earlier version of
the complete Reports™ software package on
your machine, the following procedure will
replace It with Reports Runtime 2.5. You may
Instead wish to upgrade your Reports
package to version 2.5.
I Insert the disk labeled "CAMEO™ Disk I."
CRMEO~ Disk 1
A 2 itMM
7MK in dtak
Inctal I fteports
Drag the icon labeled "Install Reports™ Runtime" onto your
hard disk.
Once you have copied this file to your hard disk, double-click
on its icon on your hard disk (don't try to install this file from
the floppy disk).
1-3
-------
Click Install. The Reports™ files will be installed automatically
into your system folder in a folder called "Reports™ System."
The installation process for Reports™ Runtime should take
about one minute. It will overwrite older versions on your
machine.
Installing CAMEO 4.0
Choosing an installation procedure
The method you'll use to install CAMEO 4.0 depends on whether you
are a new user of CAMEO, or a previous user updating CAMEO 3.0 (or
3.01) who needs to retain data from your CAMEO stacks, Reports™
templates, CityLib file, or links to map files.
A If you or* a new user, OR a previous user and DO NOT wish to
save the data from your older CAMEO stocks...
...follow the "New user CAMEO installation" instructions.
B If you are a previous user and wish to retain the data in your
CAMEO 3.0 for later) package...
...follow the "Previous user CAMEO installation" instructions.
Once you've installed the CAMEO 4.0 package, follow the
"Updating CAMEO™ items" instructions.
If you are a previous user with a version of CAMEO earlier than
3.0 and want to save your data..
...follow the "Previous user CAMEO installation" instructions.
When the CAMEO 4.0 package is installed, see the
"Import/Export" chapter to leam how to copy data from your
older CAMEO stacks into your new CAMEO stacks. Do not
follow the "Updating CAMEO™ items" instructions.
1-4
-------
A New user CAMEO installation
NOTE If you are a previous user and do not wish to
retain information from older versions of
CAMEO and ALOHA, drag your CAMEO™
folder into the trash, and choose "Empty
Trash" from the "Special" menu.
I Insert the disk labeled "CAMEO™ Disk 1."
NOTE You'll need approximately 20 megabytes of
available space on your hard disk in order to
load CAMEO.
Double-dick on the icon labeled "CAMEO™ /.'
You will be asked to specify the location where you wish
CAMEO to be installed. The installer will automatically create a

Updating CAMEO™ items
If you have been using CAMEO 3.0 (or 3.01), follow the procedure
below to use the CAMEO™ Update stack to update your current
CAMEO system to version 4.0. You'll be able to retain most of your
existing CAMEO data as you make the update. Before beginning your
update, there are a few items to take care of. As you remember, you
1-21
-------
renamed your previous CAMEO™ folder "Old CAMEO™." Several
stacks and files have already been deleted (RIDS, Codebreaker, Priority
Chemicals, and CAMEO™ Resources). If you wish to save any custom
Reports™ templates, the ALOHA CityLib file, or custom maps with
links to Facility Information or Special Populations cards, follow the
steps below:
If you have custom Reports™ templates:
I Open the "Reports" folder (located inside your Old CAMEO™
folder) and select the customized reports that you wish to
continue to use with CAMEO 4.0.
2 Drag these report templates into the Reports folder located
inside your newly created CAMEO™ folder.
If you have a modified ALOHA CityLib file:
Follow the procedure below if you have added cities to your CityLib
file, and would like to keep this information.
I Open the ALOHA folder located inside your Old CAMEO™
folder and select the customized CityLib file.
2 Drag this item into the ALOHA Folder located inside your
newly created CAMEO™ folder.
3 Click OK to replace the newer version of this file.
If you have custom maps to use with CAMEO:
You can save any PICT or Paint maps that you have been using with
earlier versions of CAMEO. If you have linked Facility Information or
Special Populations cards to locations on these maps, you can also save
this link information by translating it to a form understood by
MARPLOT, CAMEO's new mapping module (Transportation stack
map links cannot be translated in this update).
1-22
-------
Follow the steps below to save your maps. In following sections, you'll
find the procedure for translating your map links. First, create a
separate folder for each map:
I Open the "Map Files" folder of your "Old CAMEO™" folder.
This folder contains any maps that you customized for use with
CAMEO.

Updating CAMEO 3.0 (and 3.01) stacks
CAMEO« Update
Update CftMEO Mftp ftarartfs
IMPORTANT Make backup copies of your older CAMEO
stacks BEFORE running this update.
Deciding which update procedure to use:
Before updating your system, you will need to decide which update
procedure is best for you. The CAMEO™ Update stack contains two
update options: a partial update, and a complete update. Your
decision to use the partial or complete update will depend on how
extensively you have altered the appearance of your CAMEO stacks.
(If, after you have read these instructions, you are not sure which
procedure is best for you, try making copies of your current CAMEO
system and running each update on a different copy, and then retain
the version that you prefer.)
IMPORTANT Before running either update, make sure that
you have some extra space on your hard disk.
You should have enough space to make a
copy of your largest stack plus a little extra.
For example, if your Chemical Inventory stack
is 2.500 K in size, there should be at least
3.000 K extra space on your hard disk before
running the update procedure.
1-25
-------
Stocks with ntuJtjpf* backgrounds:
In HyperCard, the arrangement of buttons, fields, and graphics
common to one or more cards in a stack is called a background.
CAMEO stacks, when shipped, always contain only one background.
However, you may have created new backgrounds in your CAMEO
stacks if you pasted cards from another stack into a CAMEO stack, used
the New Background menu item in a CAMEO stack, or imported cards
into your Building Plans stack.
Whether you perform the partial or complete update, you'll need to
use a special procedure (described below in the "Updating a stack with
multiple backgrounds" section) to update any of your CAMEO stacks
that contain more than one background. During either update, the
CAMEO update stack will alert you if it finds more than one
background in a CAMEO stack. Once the update has been completed,
you'll then need to update your multiple background stacks, as
described; if none of your stacks have more than one background you
won't need to follow any special steps.
Partial update
If you've made any of the following modifications to your CAMEO 3.0
or 3.01 stacks, consider using CAMEO™ Update's partial update
option:
c^ Repositioned, added, or deleted background fields and/or
buttons.
c* Altered background graphics.
If you have extensively modified your CAMEO stacks in these ways,
running the complete update on your stacks may result in background
fields or buttons being placed on top of each other, and in the loss of
your graphics.
If you decide to use the partial update option, do not replace your
CAMEO 4.0 stacks with their respective CAMEO 3.0 or 3.01 stacks.
Instead, you will run the partial update, then import data from your
1-26
-------
current CAMEO stacks into your new CAMEO 4.0 stacks. The partial
update will make the modifications to your older CAMEO stacks, as
described below, that will make it easier for you to import the data that
they contain to your new stacks. Note that you'll need to manually
copy any of your custom buttons, fields, or scripts to your new CAMEO
stacks (as described below) before importing data. These changes will
otherwise not be included in your new system. You will not need to
replace your old HyperCard report templates as described below. After
you run the partial update, you can import your data to your 4.0 stacks
using CAMEO's Import/Export function.
IMPORTANT If you run the partial update, you must
transfer data from your previous CAMEO
stacks to your new CAMEO 4.0 stacks. Do
not try to use partially updated CAMEO
stacks.
The partial update makes the following changes to your
current CAMEO stacks:
Scenarios
c^ Adds a new background field containing information enabling
quick access to the Codebreaker card for the selected chemical.
<=» Deletes threat zone radii calculated with stability class A or 8
and "Urban or Forest" roughness category combinations (a
minor error in the calculations of radii for these cases has been
corrected).
<=* Deletes old scenario card pictures.
°& Renames the Priority Chemical field as EHS Chemical.
Chem/co/ /nrantory
<=& Adds a new background field containing information enabling
quick access to the Codebreaker card for the selected chemical.
1-27
-------
Facility Information
c* Transfers map link data from the map link field into a new
field for use in the CAMEO™ Update procedure, "Placing
Linked Objects Onto a Map."
Special Populations
^ Transfers map link data from the map link field into a new
field for use in the CAMEO™ Update procedure, "Placing
Linked Objects Onto a Map".
Incident Report
^ Renames the Priority Chemical field as EHS Chemical.
Historical Weather (if you have this stack)
<=* Adds a background title field to differentiate the separate
graphs.
Transportation
<& Clears old map link information
In addition, the stack scripts in all CAMEO 3.0 (or 3.01) stacks will be
replaced with CAMEO 4.0 scripts. No changes other than stack script
replacement are made to the Building Plans, Contacts, and Toxic
Release Annual Inventory stacks during the partial update. However,
each CAMEO™ stack in your "Old CAMEO™" folder is checked for
multiple backgrounds.
1-28
-------
Complete update
If you haven't made significant changes to the appearance of your
CAMEO 3.0 or 3.01 stacks, you can use CAMEO™ Update's complete
update option. In this case, you will update your current CAMEO
stacks, rather than replace them with new stacks. You will therefore
not need to import your data, but you will need to replace your
HyperCard report templates as described below in "Replacing
HyperCard report templates."
The complete update makes the modifications listed in the
partial update a» well as:
In oil CAMEO stacks;
c* Replaces stack scripts. With the exception of Historical
Weather, scripts at the background and card levels will not be
modified.
°* Adds, deletes, and/or modifies several background fields and
buttons. (Note: Information in editable text fields such as
Organization Type will not be replaced).
<=& Modifies background graphics in all stacks except Building
Plans.
<=* Adds or deletes resources (items such as icons, external
functions, and external commands) in each CAMEO stack.
If you choose to run the partial update and import your data from your
current stacks to your new CAMEO 4.0 stacks, follow steps 1 to 8 below,
under "Running the Partial Update." Do not replace your HyperCard
report templates as described in "Replacing HyperCard report
templates."
1-29
-------
Running the partial update
I Make copies of your CAMEO 3.0 or 3.01 stacks before running
the update.
2 Drag the CAMEO™ Update, CAMEO™ Resources 1, CAMEO™
Resources 2, and CAMEO™ Resources 3 stacks from your
"CAMEO™" folder into your "Old CAMEO™" folder.

When the update is finished, click OK. Make a note of any
stacks containing multiple backgrounds (check the Comments
field in the CAMEO™ Update stack for this information).
If you wish to retain any fields, buttons, icons, graphics, and
scripts that you may have added to your CAMEO stacks, copy
each of these individual items from your CAMEO 3.0 or 3.01
stacks, and paste them into their corresponding CAMEO 4.0
stacks. Once you've added your custom background fields to
your new stacks, you'll be able to transfer any data in those
fields from your old stacks into your corresponding CAMEO 4.0
stacks.
Once you've made your manual changes, drag the CAMEO™
Update, CAMEO™ Resources 1, CAMEO™ Resources 2, and
CAMEO™ Resources 3 stacks from your "Old CAMEO™"
folder back to your "CAMEO™" folder.
Drag your Historical Weather stack (if you have one) to the
"CAMEO™" folder as well.
Now you are ready to import your CAMEO 3.0 or 3.01 data into
your CAMEO 4.0 stacks. For now, don't transfer data from any
stacks containing multiple backgrounds; you'll do this later.
8 To transfer information from your old stacks to the new stacks,
go to the new stack, choose Import/Export from the Search
menu of that stack, then choose to import data into the stack
(see the "Import/Export" chapter for more information).
9 Once you've selected your old CAMEO stack to be your data
source, you will need to change the settings for the data transfer
only in the following case. If you are transferring Facility
Information or Special Populations information, click to

Your new stack should be in your "CAMEO™" folder. Drag it
into this folder, if necessary.
If you have made a complete update of your stacks, now go to
the "Replacing HyperCard report templates" section. You have
just replaced CAMEO 3.0 (or 3.01) stacks with multiple
backgrounds with the corresponding CAMEO 4.0 stacks, so you
do not need to replace report templates in these stacks.

8 If you have made a partial update of your stacks, you're now
ready to go on to the "Placing linked objects onto a map"
section.
Replacing HyperCard report templates
NOTE Follow the procedures described in this
section only if you are making a complete
update. If you're making a partial update, go
to "Placing linked objects onto a map."
CAMEO 4.0 contains updated versions of the HyperCard report
templates included with earlier versions of CAMEO. If you intend to
make use of these templates when operating CAMEO, you'll need to
update your existing templates manually. Follow the steps below to do
this. If you have just updated a multiple-background stack, do not
replace the report templates that it contains. If you do not wish to
update these templates then move to the "Finishing your complete
update" section below.
Repeat the steps below for each of the following CAMEO 3.0 (or 3.01)
stacks:
Plans
Chemical Inventory
Contacts
Facility Information
Incident Report
Historical Weather (if you have
this stack)
Scenarios
Special Populations
Toxic Release Annual Report
Transportation
Two versions of each of these stacks should reside on your machine at
this point: a 4.0 version, and a 3.0 (or 3.01) version.
1-38
-------
Open your "Old CAMEO™" folder and double-click on the first
stack in the list above (Building Plans).
Unless you have made special modifications to the older
template(s) in this stack, it is a good idea to dispose of the old
template before adding the new CAMEO 4.0 template.

Finishing up your complete update
Once you have run your complete update, whether or not you have
replaced your report templates, your new ALOHA and MARPLOT
folders should now be in your "CAMEO™" folder, and your updated
CAMEO stacks, except for any multiple-background stacks that you just
updated, should be in your "Old CAMEO™" folder.
1 Now, select all of your CAMEO stacks within the "Old
CAMEO™" folder EXCEPT any stacks with multiple
backgrounds that you updated manually. Drag the selected
stacks into the "CAMEO™" folder (do not drag your old
ALOHA or map files folders into the "CAMEO™" folder).
Click OK when you're asked whether you wish to replace your
CAMEO 4.0 stacks of the same name.
2 Check to be sure that you have already moved all of your maps
into folders in the "MARPLOT maps" folder, as described
above. Drag the "Old CAMEO" folder to the trash.
3 If you have CAMEO 3.0 (or 3.01) map records to update, go on to
the "Placing linked objects onto a map" section.
1-44
-------
Placing linked objects onto a map
To run this part of the update, you must have converted your
CAMEO 3.0 (or 3.01) stacks to version 4.0, following the first part of the
update procedure.
During this part of the update, MARPLOT objects representing either
Facility Information or Special Populations will be created for cards in
the Facility Information and Special Populations stacks. These objects
will automatically be placed on any maps that you had previously
linked to cards in either stack. These maps, each in a separate folder,
should now be located in your "MARPLOT maps" folder. You'll
perform this update once for each of your CAMEO 3.0 (or 3.01) maps
that you now wish to use with CAMEO 4.0.
In previous versions of CAMEO, a name in the Map Link field on a
Facility Information or Special Populations card indicated that a point
had been marked on a map to represent the location of that facility or
population. This mapping procedure is now performed for CAMEO
4.0 by the application MARPLOT (Mapping Application for Response,
Planning, and Local Operational Tasks).
MARPLOT requires that maps files reside in their own, separate folder
inside the "MARPLOT maps" folder. If you have not created a new
map folder for each of your custom maps that you wish to use in
MARPLOT, follow the steps in the "If you have custom maps for use
with CAMEO:" section above to create a MARPLOT map folder for
each of your custom maps.
Now that you have placed each of the maps you wish to update in a
separate folder, you'll need to give each map latitude and longitude
coordinates (it will then be "georeferenced"). To do this, you'll need to
know either (1) the latitude and longitude of two points on each map,
or (2) the latitude and longitude of one point on each map, as well as
the distance from that point to a second point on the same map.
1-45
-------
If you have a map of your city, and you know your city's longitude and
latitude (check any good atlas for this information), as well as the
distance between two points on the map, you have the information
you need to georeference your map. You can also georeference your
map if you know the latitude and longitude of your city and have
placed a scale bar on your map (for example, 1 inch on the map equals
1.5 miles in the real world).
Creating a MARPLOT PICT map
The following example shows how to georeference a map, called "My
Custom Map File," for use in MARPLOT. "My Custom Map File" has
been placed in its own folder, called "My Custom Map File," inside the
"MARPLOT maps" folder. Be as accurate as you can when you enter
the coordinates for your map file. The accuracy of the coordinates you
enter directly affects the positioning of your new MARPLOT objects
during the update (but you'll be able to make some adjustments later).
I Open the "MARPLOT Folder" and double-click on MARPLOT'S
icon to start the application. Click anywhere on the opening
screen to make it disappear.

Chapter 2.1
CAMEO™ Overview
The Computer-Aided Management of Emergency Operations
(CAMEO™) program was designed by the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) to help emergency planners, facility operators,
and first responders plan for, and safely handle, chemical accidents.
CAMEO includes databases, in the form of HyperCard stacks, as well as
applications. CAMEO's chemical database stacks contain names,
synonyms, formulas, and regulatory and response information for about
4,000 chemicals in common use. CAMEO also includes an air dispersion
model to help you evaluate hazardous chemical release scenarios, a
mapping application, and stacks to help you maintain records and
information useful for emergency planning and response. You can use
CAMEO's searching function to search through CAMEO databases for
specific information, and you can import and export information readily
among CAMEO stacks, other HyperCard stacks, and text files. CAMEO's
interrelated databases and programs can help you to meet the emergency
planning and reporting requirements of Title HI of SARA, the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986.
A quick tour
Each CAMEO stack is symbolized by an icon (a small graphic inside a
rectangle) displayed in the upper left comer of every CAMEO card. Click
on this icon, in any CAMEO stack, to access the Navigator palette. Each
button on the Navigator corresponds to a CAMEO stack or application,
and is identical in appearance to the icon for the corresponding stack or
application. Click on any button to go to the CAMEO stack or application
that it represents.
2-1-1
-------
To make full use of CAMEO and its companion applications, you'll need
to be running under System 7, or under MultiFinder in System 6.0.5 or
above. You'll need about 20 megabytes of space on your hard drive for
CAMEO, and additional space for electronic maps that you wish to use
with CAMEO. You'll need about 4 megabytes of Random Access
Memory (RAM) to run the three main CAMEO applications
simultaneously. To allow CAMEO's many components to work together
properly, be sure to keep all your CAMEO stacks and programs together
inside your CAMEO™ folder, and keep all your maps, each in a separate
folder, inside the "MARPLOT Maps" folder within the "MARPLOT
Folder" inside your CAMEO folder.
The Codebreaker stack contains cards for more than 4,000
hazardous chemicals. Each card contains a description of a chemical,
including chemical name and synonyms, trade names, identification
numbers, regulatory information, and labeling conventions. You'll use
Codebreaker as the index to the Response Information Data Sheets stack.
The Response Information Data Sheets (RIDS) stack contains
cards for about 4,000 chemicals. Each card displays a general description
of a chemical, its physical properties, fire and health hazards, and
recommendations for fire fighting and non-fire response, protective
clothing for responders, and first aid.
You can use the Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres
(ALOHA™) air dispersion model to estimate airborne pollutant
concentrations downwind from the source of a spill. Once you enter a
description of an accidental chemical release into the model, ALOHA
displays a "footprint" diagram, representing the area at risk, as well as
graphs of indoor and outdoor pollutant concentrations for locations that
you specify. ALOHA footprints can be plotted on electronic maps.
2-1-2
-------
Use the Contacts stack as a telephone and address directory of
important contacts, such as chemical experts, government agencies and
organizations, contacts for facilities, response resources, and other people
who can help you with emergency planning or response. You can link
any card in this stack to an electronic map so that you can quickly see a
contact person's location in your community.
Refer to the Help stack when you need to learn more about a
CAMEO stack or feature.
Use the Facility Information stack to store basic information,
such as address, industry class, and physical location, about facilities
where chemicals are stored. You can also record the request, receipt, and
due dates and locations of reports relating to each facility that have been
submitted under the reporting requirements of Title III of SARA. You can
link any card in this stack to an electronic map so that you can quickly see
a facility's location in your community.
Use the Chemical Inventory stack to maintain inventory
records for stored chemicals, including descriptions of each chemical's
physical state, storage conditions and locations, and quantities routinely
on site. You can link chemical storage locations described on cards in this
stack to facility floor plans in the Building Plans stack.
Use the Building Plans stack to keep a file of facility floor
plans that you prepare using HyperCard's drawing tools or a Macintosh
drawing application. Link locations of stored chemicals on facility floor
plans in this stack to Chemical Inventory cards for each chemical, or to
cards in other stacks.
2-1-3
-------
Use the Scenarios stack to conduct hazard analyses for your
community, using procedures described in the guidebook, Technical
Guidance for Hazards Analysis. Emergency Planning for Extremely Hazardous
Substances (1987), prepared and distributed by the U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA), and the U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT). You can use
this stack to automatically calculate a threat zone, the area potentially
affected by an accidental release of a chemical that you specify, around a
facility or other potential spill site. You can use CAMEO's mapping
application to display threat zones on an electronic map of your
community.
Use the Toxic Release Annual Report stack to compile and
maintain information from annual reports of accidental and routine
chemical releases from facilities. Certain facilities are required to report
this information under the provisions of Section 313 of SARA Title III.
Toxic Release Annual Report stacks containing current Toxic Release
Inventory information for U. S. states are distributed separately.
Use the Transportation stack to compile information about
routes commonly used to transport chemicals. You can categorize these
routes as air, open water, river, railroad, or road. You can link cards in
this stack to routes shown on electronic maps, so that you can quickly
find a route on a map.
Use the Special Populations stack to maintain descriptions of
schools, nursing homes, hospitals, and other facilities that require special
protection and consideration during chemical emergencies. You can link
cards in this stack to symbols shown on electronic maps, so that you can
quickly find a special population location on a map.
2-1-4
-------
Use the Incident Report stack to track information about
accidental spills of hazardous chemicals. (Under Section 304 of Title III,
facilities must report accidental spills of certain hazardous chemicals to
local and state governments and to local fire departments.) You can link
cards in this stack to symbols shown on electronic maps/ so that you can
quickly find the location of an incident on a map.
The Mapping Application for Response, Planning, and Local
Operational Tasks (MARPLOT™) allows you to use electronic maps
with CAMEO and ALOHA. You can use MARPLOT to display and edit
maps derived from Census Bureau TIGER files as well as maps in PICT
format. You can link CAMEO cards to objects on a MARPLOT map, and
plot CAMEO threat zones and ALOHA footprints on a map of your
community.
The Historical Weather stack contains statistical weather
information for about 400 locations within the United States. Use this
information along with the Scenarios stack and ALOHA air model to
complete hazard analyses for your community. The Historical Weather
stack is distributed separately.
You can use CAMEO's Import/Export function to import information
from text files or from other HyperCard stacks into your CAMEO stacks,
and to export information from your CAMEO stacks to other HyperCard
stacks or to text files.
You can use CAMEO's Search function to quickly find specific
information in CAMEO's chemical database or other CAMEO stacks.

Emergency planning and reporting requirements
Under six sections of Title III of SARA, also known as the Emergency
Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986, manufacturers and
other facilities are required to report accidental releases of hazardous
chemicals to state and local officials, and to local fire departments. State
and local officials are required to prepare contingency plans for
communities where hazardous materials are manufactured, stored, or
processed. Records of chemical inventories at facilities/ and of accidental
and routine chemical spills must be readily available to interested
citizens, local and state governments, and local fire departments.
Sections 3O1 to 303:
Emergency Planning
Local governments are required to prepare chemical
emergency response plans, and to review plans at
least annually. State governments are required to
oversee and coordinate local planning efforts.
Facilities that maintain EHS (Extremely Hazardous
Substance) chemicals on-site in quantities greater
than corresponding Threshold Planning Quantities
(TPQs) must cooperate in emergency plan
preparation.
Section 304: Emergency
Notification
Facilities must immediately report accidental
releases of EHS chemicals and "hazardous
substances" in quantities greater than
corresponding Reports bis Quantities (RQs) defined
under CERCLA (the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act) to state
and local officials. Information about accidental
chemical releases must be available to the public.
Sections 311 and 312:
Community Rlght-to-
Know Requirements
Facilities manufacturing, processing, or storing
designated hazardous chemicals must make
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs), describing
the properties and health effects of these
chemicals, available to state and local officials and
local fire departments. Facilities must also report,
to state and local officials and local fire
departments, inventories of all on-site chemicals for
which MSDSs exist. Information about chemical
inventories at facilities and MSDSs must be
available to the public.
2-1-6
-------
Section 913; Toxic
Chemical Release
Reporting
The EFA must maintain records of toxic chemical
emissions from certain facilities, and must use this
information in research and in preparation of
guidelines and regulations. This EPA database is
called the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI). Facilities
subject to these reporting requirements must
submit annual reports of total amounts of
chemicals released to the environment (both
routinely and accidentally) to the EPA and to state
officials.
To learn more about the reporting and planning requirements of Title III,
see the appendix to this manual or contact the Emergency Planning and
Community Right-to-Know Information Hotline, 800-535-0202 (in the
Washington, D. C. area, dial 703-920-9877), or the nearest regional office
of the EPA. You can also review parts of the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFRs) describing these requirements. The relevant parts are: 40 CFR §
300 and 355 (describing Sections 301 to 303 and Section 304 of Title III); 40
CFR § 370 (describing Sections 311 to 312); and 40 CFR § 372 (describing
Section 313).

CAMEO
TM
Tour
This tour introduces you to CAMEO™ 4.0, a computer program for the
Apple Macintosh designed to help emergency planners and first
responders prepare for, and more effectively deal with chemical
accidents. CAMEO includes emergency response information and
recommendations for over 4,000 hazardous chemicals. In addition, you
can use CAMEO to help you meet the planning and reporting
requirements of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know
Act of 1986 (also known as SARA Title III).
You will be taking a tour of a planning and response scenario for a
hypothetical community, Central City, in Liberty County. This tour will
demonstrate the use of CAMEO in conjunction with MARPLOT
(Mapping Application for Response, Planning, and Local Operational
Tasks), and ALOHA (Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres).
Sample data have been entered into CAMEO stacks for the purpose of the
2-2-1
-------
tour. When you have finished viewing the demonstration, you should
delete the sample data before entering your own information.
In order to step through this tour, you must be operating in MultiFinder
with System 6.05 or later system software, and have CAMEO, ALOHA,
and MARPLOT loaded. You'll need to have enough RAM memory to
run all three applications at once.
Scenario
The Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) for Liberty County
(pop. 150,000) is beginning an analysis of the potential hazards associated
with the storage and transportation of hazardous materials in the county.
The first analysis they conduct is of the storage and transportation of
chlorine to the Central Water Facility treatment plant, located in a rural
section of the county two miles southeast of Central City (see map above).
The plant employs 29 people, and uses 1-ton cylinders of chlorine in the
water treatment process. The facility has furnished diagrams of the
layout of the overall plant and the chlorination building.
The LEPC is following the hazards analysis procedure outlined in
Technical Guidance far Hazards Analysis, prepared by the Environmental
Protection Agency, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the
VS. Department of Transportation. This procedure is a three-step
process involving:
O hazard identification,
O vulnerability analysis, and
O risk analysis.
As recommended in this guidebook, the LEPC will conduct this analysis
in two stages: initial screening of the hazards associated with the plant
and a more detailed planning reevaluation of the hazards.
2-2-2
-------
Before beginning their analysis, the LEPC has obtained from the facility a
Tier II chemical inventory form, indicating the amounts, locations, and
storage conditions for the chlorine stored at the plant.
The tour guide: the Navigator
The Navigator, the gateway to all the components that make up CAMEO,
appears when you click on the stack icon in the upper left comer of each
CAMEO card. The Navigator will display buttons representing all the
CAMEO stacks in the CAMEO folder.
You can open any stack to begin using CAMEO. To begin the Guided
Tour, open the CAMEO folder and double-click on the Building Plans
stack.
Building Plans
Building floor plans may be stored in CAMEO at any level of detail that
you choose. The first floor plan below is a layout of the Central Water
Facility treatment plant.

Chemical Inventory
You can store information from Tier II forms in this CAMEO stack to
provide an efficient means of accessing chemical inventory information
from facilities reporting under Title III. CAMEO's Chemical Inventory
form is similar to the actual EPA Tier II form, with two exceptions: the
CAMEO form is limited to one chemical per page, and space has been
provided (in the lower right corner of the form) for additional
information on stored chemicals. This additional information is required
for the LEPC to complete a vulnerability analysis (under section 303 of
Title III).

Go to the Navigator and click
to go to the Scenarios stack.
Scenarios
The Scenarios stack is one of CAMEO's most powerful features. You can
use it to carry out the hazards analysis screening calculations
recommended in Technical Guidance for Hazards Analysis.
When you use the Scenarios stack, you can choose to estimate the threat
zone around a facility or along a transportation route either by...
I using EPA's "credible worst case" assumption to obtain a worst
case threat zone estimate, or
2 entering atmospheric and chemical information that you believe
to be more typical of the region and facility. Once you have an
estimate of the radius of the threat zone, you can use Scenarios to
plot the zone on a map in MARPLOT.
The card below shows the results of a hazards analysis calculation for the
chlorine stored at the Central Water Facility treatment plant. The LEPC
decided to analyze a release through the valve of a single one-ton chlorine
cylinder that was broken off while being transferred from a transport
vehicle to the plant via a forklift.
2-2-9
-------
Chlorine leaking from the cylinder would be expected to form a gas cloud
that would drift away from the plant in whatever direction the wind
would be blowing. This calculation assumes a light wind speed, a
conservative estimate of the concentration of chlorine mat may cause
health effects (one-tenth of the Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health
[IDLH] concentration), and a continuous release from a 1-ton cylinder
over 30 minutes. Under these conditions, the area potentially at risk is
bounded by a circle one-half mile in radius. Depending on the wind
direction, chlorine concentrations within the zone could reach or exceed
the level of concern shown on the Scenarios card.

Using ALOHA to calculate a footprint
You have been informed by the Central Water Facility treatment plant
that the highest-risk operation at the plant is the changing of chlorine
tanks. These operations are done only during daytime hours. Thus, we'll
look at a daytime release scenario as part of our re-evaluation. We'll
assume that a single cylinder begins to leak through its valve while it is
being moved into the building.
Local meteorologists were able to provide a description of the most
common daytime weather conditions observed at Central City. This
information will be used to run a scenario in ALOHA, CAMEO's air
model.
Using ALOHA, you can take more factors—such as city location,
atmospheric conditions, and other circumstances of the release—into
2-2-12
-------
account. While the Scenarios stack lets you get a rough initial estimate of
the threat zone, ALOHA can give you a more realistic estimate.
Go to the Navigator and click TV to go to ALOHA. (If this
icon does not appear in the Navigator, find it on the desktop and
double-dick it).
After you read the list of things to remember when using
ALOHA, click OK. Select Location... from the SiteData menu.
You'll see a list of the cities included in ALOHA's "City Library."
Since "Central City" does not exist in the library, you'll have to

Chapter 3
Creating a CAMEO
management plan
Before you begin to use CAMEO, consider how you intend to manage
and use your new CAMEO system. In this section, we describe some of
the issues that you should consider, and present guidelines to follow as
you prepare a CAMEO management plan for your workplace.
Why should you prepare a management plan?
It's important to plan how you intend to manage and use your CAMEO
system before you dedicate resources to implementing your CAMEO,
ALOHA, and MARPLOT programs. A good management plan can help
you to address issues before they become a problem. Your plan can
prepare you for requesting additional resources as you require them,
developing a training program, and handling future software and
hardware developments. You can also use your plan as a guide for
implementing CAMEO. You actually started management planning
when you selected your equipment.
What should a good management plan include?
An effective CAMEO implementation goes beyond installing the
programs, flipping through the manuals, using Codebreaker and RIDS,
and placing a few symbols on a MARPLOT map. To effectively
implement CAMEO, you'll need to plan in advance your procedures for
entering/ maintaining, and using information, protecting and backing up
both data and programs, training personnel, and customizing your
CAMEO system. Your management plan should also address your
equipment and personnel needs. An effective management plan can
make CAMEO and your computer more useful tools.
3-1
-------
A recommended CAMEO management plan outline
Address the following topics as you draft a CAMEO management plan:
Proposed uses of your computer system and CAMEO
Describe your planning and response duties, and any other intended uses
of your computer system.
Hardware
Describe your hardware inventory, including computer models, hard
disk sizes, and available memory, and other hardware, such as modems,
storage devices, and printers. Describe your local network, if you are
using one.
Software applications
Describe your software inventory. List the word processing, graphics,
spreadsheets, database and other applications that you intend to use with
your CAMEO system.
Map files
Describe your inventory of electronic maps, including types of maps (e.g.,
PICT, TIGER-derived, and so on), memory requirements, and areas of
coverage. If you intend to acquire additional maps in the future, list
available suppliers.
CAMEO system manager
Describe the position and responsibilities of the system manager. Include
his or her name and telephone numbers).
Information management
Outline the procedures that you intend to use for entering information
into CAMEO and onto maps used with CAMEO. Describe procedures
for making data linkages both within CAMEO and between CAMEO and
MARPLOT maps, and information tracking procedures. Propose data
element standards.
Describe your strategies for maintaining, tracking, and updating
information. Describe your method for backing up your CAMEO system,
3-2
-------
and include a schedule. Describe your method of ensuring program
security. Describe and justify any procedures that you intend to use to
restrict access to the program.
Training
Describe who will be trained, and the purposes and goals of your
CAMEO training program. Discuss word processing, graphics, and
other skills required of trainees. Outline your proposed training
program, and list the subjects that you intend to cover. Describe the
resources that you need to conduct your program. Include a training
schedule.
CAMEO enhancement
Describe any enhancements that you propose to make to your CAMEO
system.
The CAMEO system manager
Your most important decision affecting your CAMEO system will be
selection of the system manager. You should designate one person as the
system manager. This person should be experienced in using CAMEO as
well as standard word-processing, information management, and
graphics applications, especially HyperCard™, on the Macintosh.
c^ The responsibilities of the system manager include:
C& receiving and installing program updates
<=* troubleshooting
c^ directing the training program
°& ensuring that backups are made
^ supervising any enhancements to CAMEO
°* directing data entry
c* ensuring program security
c& developing data element standards
Some components of these tasks may be delegated to others. In essence,
the system manager should be responsible for maintaining your CAMEO
system and ensuring that it is used as effectively as possible. The
3-3
-------
importance of this position cannot be over-emphasized. If your system
manager is not in tune with the CAMEO system, its needs, and your
needs, then CAMEO may never prove to be a useful tool for you.
Data entry and updating
The quality of your CAMEO system depends on the quality of the data
that you enter into your system. Before you enter data, try to answer the
following questions:
°* What information do you intend to enter into CAMEO?
<=* How will you keep track of the information that you enter?
°^ Do you need to develop step-by-step procedures for entering
information into CAMEO?
c^ Who will be responsible for entering information?
*=& How often do you plan to update the information in your
CAMEO system?
The first step in planning your data entry program is to identify the
information that, once incorporated into CAMEO, can help you to
perform your emergency planning and response duties. Decide how
you'd like to standardize information such as facility identification
numbers, abbreviations, the symbols and overlays placed on MARPLOT
maps, and other information. Then, determine where, when, and how
this information should be entered into your CAMEO system, and how it
should be maintained and used. An advantage of preparing written,
step-by-step procedures for entering and maintaining information is that
you then can refer to these procedures during training sessions and when
entering, maintaining, and verifying CAMEO information. The more you
can standardize your data entry system, the better the quality of your
CAMEO data will be, and the lower the risk of errors associated with
3-4
-------
entering multiple records for the same facility, organization, or other
entity.
Assign data entry and maintenance responsibilities only to trained and
responsible staff members. They should follow the procedures that you
develop. If several people will enter and maintain your CAMEO data, be
sure to develop and use an effective tracking system, to minimize errors.
Plan to verify and update your CAMEO information regularly. Establish
a schedule for verifying and updating data and stick to it (you may wish
to schedule data verification and updating tasks around important SARA
Title III- related dates, such as reporting deadlines). Finally, consider
how you might enhance CAMEO to better meet your data entry and
management needs.
Program security
The success of your CAMEO program will depend on your ability to
ensure the security of your CAMEO system. There are two categories of
security concerns:
c* program access
c* program backup
As you address this topic in your management plan, ask yourself:
°* Who should have access to your CAMEO system?
*& What methods for restricting access to CAMEO should you use (if
any)?
°* How will you back up your system? Who will perform backups,
and how often?
Always bear in mind that your CAMEO system, and the information that
it contains, can be easily modified or damaged. When program security
is inadequate, a novice user or failed hard disk can jeopardize your entire
3-5
-------
CAMEO system. Only well-trained, authorized users should have full
access to CAMEO. You may wish to allow limited access by other users.
Such access restrictions can help to prevent inadequate CAMEO system
modifications.
Some technical information that you should know
Modifying user levels
The HyperCard user level for CAMEO will automatically be set to 5
(Scripting), the highest level available in HyperCard, when you first open
each CAMEO stack. At this user level, you'll have access to all of
CAMEO's features and capabilities, and you'll be able to customize stacks
to meet specific needs that you may have.
You can change this pre-set user level. Reducing user level is a simple
way to protect any CAMEO stack from inadvertent modification. By
setting user level of some or all stacks to any of the three lowest levels,
you can also prevent modification of links between MARPLOT map
objects and cards in the protected stack(s). This will not prevent other
editing changes to maps, however. You can set the user level for any
CAMEO stack to any of the other four HyperCard user levels. These are:
c®' Level 1, Browsing, allows you only to view information already
placed on cards in the stack.
<=& Level 2, Typing, allows you to add, modify, or delete text
displayed on cards in the stack, but not to change the basic
appearance or functions of the stack.
<=* Level 3, Painting, allows you to use the HyperCard Painting tools
to change appearance of individual cards.
c> Level 4, Authoring, allows you to use HyperCard's button and
field tools to change stack appearance and some stack functions.
3-6
-------
To set the user level for a stack, select Protect Stack... from the File menu.
Click the radio button for one of the five user levels, then click OK. You'll
need to close, then re-open the stack in order for this change to take effect.
Follow this procedure to change the user level of any or all CAMEO
stack(s). To later reset user level for a stack to a higher value, hold down
the command key while you pull down the File menu. This prompts the
Protect Stack... menu item to reappear.
You can also set a password to control access to specific CAMEO stacks
(check your HyperCard manual to learn how to do this), but if you forget
the password, you won't be able to re-open the stack. Back up stacks
before you set passwords for them!
Effects of changing user level
When level is set to 3 or below, the Import/Export menu item will not
appear in the Search menu. In the Building Plans stack, users will be
unable to create facility floor plans when level is set to 3 or below.
Users also will not be able to link or unlink map objects from cards in
stacks with user level set to 3 or below, and will not be able to update
map links to these stacks. The CAMEO submenu items Link Object and
Update Map Links, and the Unlink item, all in MARPLOT'S Sharing
menu, will remain visible, but users will not be able to use them to
change link information in protected stacks or in objects linked to cards in
protected stacks. Users instead will be alerted that the specified action

Deleting CAMEO stacks
Depending upon your responsibilities, you may or may not use every
stack in CAMEO. You may choose to delete some stacks in order to
create room on your hard drive. Refer to the table below, however, before
deciding to delete any CAMEO stacks.

Modifying CAMEO stacks
Before modifying your CAMEO system, be sure that you have
familiarized yourself with your system and its capabilities. Plan in
advance the modifications that you intend to make/ and consider not only
the advantages that you expect to gain by making modifications, but
potential drawbacks as well. Develop a logbook to track implementation
of any enhancements that you make to your CAMEO system.
Review the following information before you decide to modify^ny
CAMEO stacks. First, do not mpdifvany of the three CAMEO™
risking the loss of your work during a future CAMEO update (during
Resource stacks. These contain scripts and other resources used by all
other CAMEO stacks. Likewise, avoid modifying the stack script of any
CAMEO stack. To add scripts to a CAMEO stack, create them as
background scripts, rather than stack scripts. Not only will you avoid
unintentionally damaging your CAMEO system, but you will also avoid
CAMEO updates, resource stacks and stack scripts may be modified or
replaced).
Avoid renaming or deleting either visible or hidden data fields on
CAMEO cards. Some fields, such as NAME and ID, cannot be modified
without damaging CAMEO functioning. Hidden fields are used in
CAMEO stacks to store information not needed by users, but which
CAMEO requires. Avoid altering CAMEO button scripts and, finally, do
not delete either the CAMEO or Search menus.
However, you can safely modify CAMEO in many ways. You can:
c^ move or resize existing data fields.
<=& add new fields (these will automatically appear in the field lists
that you see when you choose the New Search... or Sort by...
menu items).
<=* move existing buttons or add new buttons.
3-9
-------
create new scripts in stack backgrounds, buttons, and fields.
create new backgrounds in existing stacks.
modify card size and shape to take advantage of extra memory
and/or large screen monitors.
modify the background graphics in CAMEO stacks to change card
appearance.
Backing up your CAMEO system
You may invest a great deal of time entering and maintaining information
in your CAMEO system. Protect this investment by backing up your
system regularly. You can lose all or part of the data on a hard disk if it
fails. You can choose to back up data onto diskettes, a tape drive, hard
drive, optical drive, or other storage unit.
Keep a complete, unmodified copy of your original CAMEO program
and all update disks, as they were delivered. Then regularly back up
your installed CAMEO system as well. How often you should back up
your data depends on the frequency with which you use your system.
Back up your system whenever you have entered a large volume of data
or made other extensive modifications. When you are not adding
extensive amounts of data or making frequent modifications, you may
find weekly or monthly back ups to be sufficient.
We recommend that, regardless of the back up schedule that you
establish, you maintain two complete sets (Set A and Set B) of your data
in addition to the working CAMEO files on your hard disk. Here's a
suggested weekly back up schedule:
Week 1: back up all data on Set A.
Week 2: back up all data on Set B.
Continue these alternating backups during subsequent weeks.
3-10
-------
When you maintain two complete sets of data, you will still have a
relatively recent backup copy of your system in case of a problem when
updating the other backup copy.

Chemical Database
The CAMEO chemical database is composed of two linked databases,
each a separate HyperCard stack: CAMEO™ Codebreaker and the
Response Information Data Sheets (RIDS) stack.
Codebreaker
Codebreaker contains more than 4,000 cards, each containing information
about a single chemical. Each card displays the common name of the
chemical, name synonyms and numbers, formulas, and codes that serve
to identify the chemical, information about how the chemical is regulated,
and information used in hazard analysis.
BERTHOLITE
CHLOOR (DUTCH)
CHLDR (GERMAN)
CHLORE (FRENCH)
Using Codebreaker as the database index
Generally, cards in Codebreaker are linked to corresponding cards in the
RIDS stack. Codebreaker acts as an index for RIDS. Whenever you need
to find information about a specific chemical or a set of chemicals, choose
4-M
-------
New Search from the Search menu to quickly search through the
Codebreaker stack for the card or cards describing the chemical(s). You
can use either complete names, numbers, formulas, or labels, or just
fragments of information as your search criteria. Refer to the "Searching"
chapter to learn how to perform a CAMEO search.
Once you've found the card in Codebreaker that describes the chemical of
concern, click on the RIDS button on that card.
You'll be transferred to the card for the same chemical in the RIDS stack,
where you can view a description of the chemical and information about
the chemical's properties and toxicology. Click on the appropriate
headings to view RIDS descriptions of recommended first aid procedures,
protective clothing, and response methods for the chemical.
There is a Codebreaker card, but no corresponding RIDS card, for about
200 hazardous chemicals. These chemicals are regulated by the U. S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), but no response information is
available for them.
A white slash across the RIDS button,

CHEMTREC
Call the Chemical Transportation Emergency Center (CHEMTREC) at
(800)424-9300 when you need to contact chemical manufacturers or
shippers, or when you need immediate guidance during a hazardous
materials incident. The CHEMTREC hotline operates around-the-clock,
every day of the year.
CHEMTREC offers immediate communication with over 3,000 producers
and shippers of chemical commodities. CHEMTREC staff members can
notify the shipper of a spilled chemical and place them in contact with
emergency responders at the scene of an incident. CHEMTREC staff
members can also use custom teleconferencing equipment to put you in
touch with chemists, engineers, poison control centers, company
physicians, and response experts.
CHEMTREC also maintains more than 4,000 emergency response guides.
Each report recommends specific actions to take in the event of a spill,
leak, fire, or chemical exposure to a particular hazardous chemical. The
toxicity, reactivity, and decomposition products of each chemical are
described, along with important physical data such as flash point, boiling
point, flammable limits, and vapor density. First responders who
subscribe to the new Hazard Information Transmission (HIT) program
can receive printed copies of these reports via a phone link from the
CHEMTREC computer to a personal computer or printer in a hazmat
vehicle or fire station. (Currently, 2,000 reports are available for
transmission.)
CHEMTREC also maintains a file of 300,000 Material Safety Data Sheets
(MSDSs). These data sheets, which are supplied and updated by
4-1-12
-------
chemical manufacturers, include information about many commercial
mixtures and trade name products.
Call the CHEMTREC hotline when you need assistance from anywhere in
the continental United States, Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, the Virgin
Islands, and Canada. If you're calling from the District of Columbia or
from outside the United States, use (202)483-7616 (collect).

Maps and the Contacts stack
You can choose to link a Contacts, card to an object on a MARPLOT map,
or you can choose simply to take advantage of existing links between
maps and other stacks in order to access map objects from cards in this
stack You can accomplish this by referencing cards in these other stacks
from Contacts cards, via the ID field. For example, you can generate a
Contacts card for a facility by choosing New Contact from the CAMEO
menu of the Facility Information card describing that facility. The
Contacts and Facility Information cards both will display the same facility
ID number. It is the shared ID number that is the key to creating the
association necessary to allow access to the related facility's symbol on a
map from the Contacts card.
You may wish to link Contacts cards and map objects if you will need to
refer quickly to information in the Contacts stack while you're working
with a map in MARPLOT. For example, during an emergency response,
you may plot a CAMEO threat zone or ALOHA footprint on a map, then
wish to quickly obtain telephone numbers of contact people at facilities
within the footprint or zone, downwind of a chemical spill. If you expect
only to refer occasionally to a map while you work with cards in the
Contacts stack, though, you may prefer instead just to use existing links
between maps and other stacks to access map objects from Contacts
cards. Refer to the "Mapping" chapter to learn more about the
considerations to take into account whenever you need to decide whether
or not to link a Contacts card to a map.
Making use of links to other stacks
When you link a Facility Information, Special Populations, or
Transportation card to a map object, and then enter the name and ID
4-2-8
-------
number of the facility, population location, or route on a Contacts card,
you will be able to access the same map object from any Contacts card
that references the linked card via a facility, transportation, or population
ID number.
Follow the steps below to create a Contacts card that can take advantage
of an existing link between a map and a facility, transportation, or
population card to access a map object:
I Link a Facility Information, Special Populations, or Transportation
card to a map object, such as a symbol marking the location of a
facility or an open polygon tracing a route. (Refer to the
"Mapping" chapter to learn how to create map links.)
2 Enter the name of the facility, route, or population and its ID
number onto a Contacts card. Fill out the remaining data fields on
the card with information describing the contact.
3 Now that the ID number shown on the Contacts card matches the
ID number on the linked card, you can access the map object from
the Contacts card. From the card's CAMEO menu, choose Show
on Map. MARPLOT will come forward to display the map, and
the object representing the facility, route, or population will
appear selected, so that you can distinguish it from other objects
on the map.
(You also can use the CAMEO menu item Show Collection on
Map to view map objects to which a collection of Contacts cards
are associated in this way.)
Creating and using a map link
Follow the steps below to create a link between a Contacts card and a
symbol marking the contact's location on a map displayed in MARPLOT.
Refer to your MARPLOT manual to learn how to use MARPLOT'S edit
mode to place symbols and make other changes to a map.

the symbol linked to the Contacts card, instead of the object representing
the facility, route, or population, will be displayed. For collections of
Contacts cards, Show Collection on Map works similarly.

In either case, all information about the link will be removed from both
CAMEO and MARPLOT.
Automatic telephone dialing
You can use CAMEO to automatically dial contacts either by using a
modem or by direct tone-dialing through your computer's speaker. With
a touch-tone telephone, you can dial through the Macintosh speaker or
through a modem. Without a touch-tone phone, you'll need a modem
capable of pulse-dialing.
As you fill out new Contacts cards, enter each contact's telephone
number(s) in one or both fields next to the telephone buttons on each
card. Include necessary prefixes for long-distance calls (include any
number, such as "1," needed to access long-distance lines) or for calls out
of an office. Enter one or more commas to provide a delay between
dialed numbers (for example, you may need to enter "8," or "9,"
4-2-12
-------
followed by the phone number to access an outside line). Each comma
indicates a one-second delay. For example, if you need to dial "9" to call
out of your office and "I" to access long-distance lines, a long-distance
number typed into a telephone number field on a Contacts card might
look like this:
9,1,222-111-3333
Modem dialing...
I Make sure that you have a modem and the software necessary to

Facility Information
Introduction
Use the Facility Information stack to keep track of basic information, such
as location, ownership, and type of business, about facilities where
hazardous chemicals are manufactured, stored, or processed. Create one
card for each facility, or for each department/division within a large
facility. You can then prepare cards in other stacks containing additional
information about each facility described in the Facility Information stack.
For example, you can create cards in the Chemical Inventory stack
describing chemicals stored at a facility, and cards in the Contacts stack
describing contact people at each facility. You also can link cards in this
stack to symbols marking the locations of facilities on maps in
MARPLOT.

Chapter 4.4
Chemical Inventor/
Introduction
Under Sections 311 and 312 of Title III of SARA (the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986), also known as the
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, many
manufacturers and other facilities are required to report annual
inventories of all on-site hazardous chemicals for which Material Safety
Data Sheets (MSDSs) exist. Facilities must prepare MSDSs for all
hazardous chemicals (these are essentially any of as many as 500,000
chemicals that pose physical or health hazards) in the workplace. These
reports are made on either "Tier I" or "Tier II" forms to state and local
governments and to the local fire department. These inventory reporting
requirements are described in 40 CFR § 370.
You can use the Chemical Inventory stack to maintain information
provided by Tier I and Tier II reports. To learn more about the reporting
and planning requirements of Title III, contact the Emergency Planning
and Community Right-to-Know Information Hotline, 800-535-0202 (in the
Washington, D. C. area, 703-920-9877), or the nearest regional office of the
U. S. Environmental Protection Agency.
4-4-1
-------
Chemical Inventory*
Using this stack for Chemical Inventory reporting
Use the Chemical Inventory stack to maintain an inventory of chemicals
stored at facilities in your area. Prepare a separate card for each chemical
stored at each facility. Include information about storage method,
quantities routinely on-site, and physical state of each stored chemical.
You can create Chemical Inventory cards for facilities that you have
described on Facility Information cards, for specific transportation routes
over which chemicals are transported to and from these facilities (you can
describe such routes on cards in the Transportation stack), or for a
chemical storage vessel in a facility floor plan on a Building Plans card.
You can link specific cards in the Chemical Inventory stack to symbols on
facility floor plans in the Building Plans stack and to cards in the
Transportation stack. You may also transfer information from a Chemical
Inventory card onto a new Scenarios card for use in threat zone
estimation.

Choose an IV number that is unique for each
facility(or department/division). CAMEO uses this
number to identify cards referencing this facility (or
department/division) in other stacks, and to track
links between cards in this and other stacks and
objects on maps. You can use the facility's Dun &
Bradstreet number as its ID number (as long as this
number is not shared by another facility).
PISTRICT
Fire district or other political unit within which the
facility is located.

Maps and the Chemical Inventory stack
You cannot link Chemical Inventory cards to objects on a MARPLOT
map. However, you can access objects on MARPLOT maps from cards in
this stack, as long as the objects are linked to cards in the Facility
Information stack
Follow the steps below to create a Chemical Inventory card that can take
advantage of an existing link between a facility card and map to access a
map object:
I Link a Facility Information card to a map object, such as a symbol
marking the facility's location. (Refer to the "Mapping" chapter to
learn how to create map links.)
2 Enter the identical facility ID number shown on the Facility
Information card onto a Chemical Inventory card. The easiest
way to do this is to choose New Inventory from the CAMEO
menu of the Facility Information card. A new Chemical Inventory
card, displaying the facility's name, description, and ID number,
will be created. Fill out the remaining data fields on the card with
information describing a chemical stored at the facility.
3 Now that the ID number shown on the Chemical Inventory card
matches the ID number on the Facility Information card, you can
access the map object from the inventory card. From the card's
CAMEO menu, choose Show on Map. MARPLOT will come
forward to display the map, and the object linked to the facility
card will appear selected, so that you can distinguish it from other
symbol objects on the map.
You can associate any number of Chemical Inventory cards with Facility
Information cards that are linked to map objects. If you create a search
collection containing Chemical Inventory cards associated with facility
cards linked to map objects, you can choose Show Collection on Map to
view the map objects with which the inventory cards are associated.
4-4-16
-------
NOTE While you can access, from CAMEO, the map
objects associated with Chemical inventory
cards, you cannot access cards in this stack
from a map.
If you select a facility symbol on a map, then choose Get Info from the
CAMEO submenu of MARPLOT'S Sharing menu, the Facility
Information card linked to that object will come forward. No Chemical
Inventory cards that may be associated with that facility will be
displayed. However, once you have accessed a facility card from a map
object, you can search the Chemical Inventory stack for all the cards for
the facility, or you can more quickly view chemical inventory information
for the facility simply by choosing Reports... from the Search menu of the
linked Facility Information card, then choosing the report template,
Chemicals in Facility Inventory, to view all the chemicals described on
Chemical Inventory cards for this facility.
Tips
You can also create a Chemical Inventory card from the Facility
Information stack. To do this, choose New Chemical Inventory
from the CAMEO menu of your facility card. The facility name,
ID number, department/division, address, district, and industry
class will be copied onto a new Chemical Inventory card.
To check whether a facility ID number that you have typed in is a
valid Dun & Bradstreet number, hold down the option key, then
press quickly on the enter key.

Chapter 4.5
Building Plans
Use the Building Plans stack to keep files of facility floor plans readily
available for use during emergencies. You may cross-reference floor
plans in this stack with cards in other CAMEO stacks. Use this stack to
store plans of chemical facilities as well as plans of facilities such as
schools and hospitals that could require special attention during a
chemical emergency. You can prepare multiple-card floor plans for large
facilities, including an overall plan card as well as cards displaying plans
of individual buildings or units within the facility.
You can place previously designed symbols marking the storage locations
of chemicals on chemical facility plans. You can then link these symbols
to corresponding cards in the Chemical Inventory stack describing
chemicals stored at the facility. You also can link symbols on floor plans
to cards in other CAMEO stacks, or in stacks that you create. If a
Building Plans card contains the ID number of a facility in the Facility
Information stack that is linked to a map object, you can take advantage
of that link from the Building Plans card to view the facility on the map.

two ways:
I
You can use HyperCard's palette of

or
2 You can paste a floor plan that you have prepared in a drawing
application onto a blank card in this stack. Your drawing must be
in either PICT or Paint (bit-mapped) format (these are the
common Macintosh graphic formats).
You'll need to size your drawing to fit onto a Building Plans card. If you
have a large monitor, you may wish to enlarge your Building Plans cards
to accommodate larger floor plans. To do this, select Stack Info... from
the Object menu, then click on Resize. You can either choose the card

You may need to allocate more memory to HyperCard to use larger card
sizes. Users with one megabyte of RAM are limited to standard nine-inch
drawing cards.
Make each floor plan as simple as possible. Include the features that are
important to you—the locations of exits, for example, if you're an
emergency responder. Make simple diagrams of buildings and other
important site features. Include labels wherever you find them helpful
(use the text tool, the leftmost tool in the bottom row of the Took palette,
to type labels onto a facility plan). Rather than including too much detail
on a single card, consider creating several cards to represent different
floors, buildings, or rooms at a facility. To make a plan of a complex
facility, you can draw an overall plan of the facility on one card, labeling
each main building. On other cards, you can then draw plans of each
building in greater detail. You then can link these floor plans together
(see below).
4-5-7
-------
Connecting drawings
Follow the steps below to add a button to each of two floor plans in order
to link the two plans together. (A button is a standard HyperCard
feature. You can easily create buttons that perform operations that you
specify whenever you click on them.) In the Building Plans stack, you'll
create buttons that, whenever you click on one, will take you from the
current card to another, "linked" card.
NOTE The "linking" of cards with buttons is unrelated
to the linking of card* to MARPLOT objects.
The term "link" \e used in the HyperCard button
sense only in this section of this manual.
Before beginning this step, create two Building Plans cards that you
would like to link together.
I Go to either of the two drawings that you would like to link
together. You are about to set up a link to the other card.

Importing and exporting Building Plans data
Since the data on Building Plans cards is mostly graphical, Import/Export
works a bit differently with this stack than with other stacks.
To transfer graphical images from other sources, such as paint programs,
you will not use Import/Export at all. Instead, use the Macintosh
clipboard and scrapbook to copy images from other programs and paste
them onto Building Plans cards. When copying an image, be careful that
it is small enough to fit into the bottom part of a Building Plans card.
Although you may often use ImportfExport to transfer data between
other CAMEO stacks and text files, and between these stacks and non-
CAMEO stacks, you will rarely do so for Building Plans cards. In the case
of Building Plans, you will mainly use Import/Export to transfer cards
from one Building Plans stack to another, as described below. You might
wish, for example, to transfer some of your Building Plans cards into a
stack for a colleague at another CAMEO installation. However, if you do
want to transfer textual information between Building Plans cards and
text files, you can do so.
When you choose Import/Export from the Building Plans stack, you will

Scenarios
Introduction
You can use simple, established methods to assess the risks to your
community from accidental releases of locally stored hazardous
chemicals. Such a risk assessment is called a "hazards analysis". You can
then use the results of your hazards analysis to prepare emergency
response plans for your community. Step-by-step procedures for hazards
analysis are described in a guidebook, Technical Guidance for Hazards
Analysis. Emergency Planning for Extremely Hazardous Substances (1987),
prepared and distributed by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the
U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).
The Technical Guidance describes calculations that you can use to estimate
the size of the area around a chemical storage facility or along a
transportation route that could be affected by an accidental release of a
hazardous chemical. This area is called the "threat zone" (it may also be
called the "vulnerable zone" or "screening zone," depending on the type
4-6-1
-------
of hazard analysis you perform). The Scenarios stack can make these
calculations for you. To do this, you enter a set of simple conditions to
describe an accidental chemical release at a chemical facility or along a
transportation route. You then calculate the radius of the threat zone
around the facility or along the route. If you have a map of your area that
you can open and use in MARPLOT, CAMEO's mapping application,
you also can plot threat zones on a map.
»>*
Choosing between "screening" and "scenarios'
When you use the Scenarios stack, you can choose to estimate the threat
zone around a facility or along a transportation route either by using
I EPA's "credible worst case assumptions" to make "screening"
calculations,
or
atmospheric and chemical information that you believe to be more
typical of the region and facility, in order to run accident
"scenarios."
Making "screening" calculations
When you use EPA's worst case assumptions to complete hazard
analyses, you're performing a Screening. The purpose of screening is to
identify "screening zones" for all Extremely Hazardous Substance (EHS)
chemicals stored above specified threshold quantities at chemical facilities
within a community.
There are about 360 EHS chemicals, all highly toxic chemicals that have
been identified by EPA as particular hazards. Check the "EHS" field on
CAMEO's Codebreaker card (look under the "»Regulatory
Infonnation»" heading) for a chemical of concern to see whether it is an
EHS chemical. YES appears in this field on Codebreaker cards for EHS
chemicals. Check the "EHSTPQ" field to see the Threshold Planning
Quantity (TPQ) for an EHS chemical. If a facility in your area stores more
4-6-2
-------
than this quantity of an EHS chemical, it should be included in your
screening.
EPA has specified a set of assumptions about weather, level of concern,
and release rate for use in calculating a screening zone for any EHS
chemical stored above its threshold planning quantity at a local facility, or
transported along a local route in quantities greater than its TPQ. Use the
screening zone as an aid in identifying the populations and critical
facilities that might be placed at risk by a "worst case" accidental release.
This gives you a way to estimate the severity of the consequences of a
release.
Once you've calculated a screening zone, you should then estimate the
likelihood of a release. Combine your estimates of the severity of release
consequences and the likelihood that the release will occur, and use this
information to estimate the overall risk associated with a particular
chemical for each facility and transportation route. You can then
differentiate between high-priority and low-priority risks to your
community. You might focus first on high-priority risks when preparing
emergency plans.
Screening zones are calculated using the following worst case
assumptions:
Atmospheric stability Indicates very stable, nighttime atmospheric
class « T conditions.
Wind speed * 1.5 tripe. On average, a chemical cloud can travel the farthest
or 5,4 mph downwind at this relatively low wind speed.
Wind direction * any
direction
Ground roughnessi
"Open Country"
Wind direction can't be predicted in advance, so an
escaping chemical cloud could travel in any direction
away from its point of release. Hence, the screening
zone forms a circle around the potential release point.
Notice that the zone therefore does not represent the
area that could be affected during a release; the part
of the zone that \s affected would be determined by
the wind direction during the release.
The chemical cloud travels across fiat, rural terrain
which presents no obstacles to air movement.

This is a conservative estimate of the chemical

A screening zone encompasses the area around the

than your level of concern.

Thle variei) with chemical's- state. Solids In powder
or solution form and gases are expected to be
released within 10 minutes; the duration of a liquid's or
molten solid's release depends on its rate of
evaporation or volatilization.
Making "scenarios" calculations
Whenever you change at least one of the screening assumptions, you are
making scenarios instead of screening calculations. You might choose to
do this if you thought that the worst case assumptions for weather,
release amount, level of concern, and other circumstances of a release did
not represent the most likely release circumstances for a facility. For
example, you might change wind speed and stability class to values
based on historical weather data (refer to the Historical Weather chapter
to learn how to obtain and use such data for your area when preparing
scenarios calculations). You can then find the size of a threat zone under
the most common, rather than the worst possible, weather conditions.
When you make scenarios instead of screening calculations, the threat
zone is termed the "vulnerable zone" rather than the screening zone.
We suggest that you use both the screening and scenarios features of this
stack. Use the screening assumptions to compare the relative risks to
your community from the worst possible releases of all chemicals of
concern, at fixed facilities and along transportation routes. Once you
have completed your screening, consider constructing scenarios to
explore how changing your release assumptions influences the size of the
vulnerable zone.

-------
Calculating the threat zone radius
A Indicate a release point.
If you intend only to obtain a radius estimate, go to Step B, but if you
intend to plot a threat zone on a map of your area once you have obtained
a radius estimate, you must indicate a potential release point, either at a
chemical facility or along a transportation route. Do this when you create
a Scenarios card by associating the new card with a map object so that
CAMEO later can plot a threat zone around that map object. You can
choose to associate a Scenarios card with an already-linked Facility
Information or Transportation card via a facility or route ID number, or
you can create a new map object to mark a release location, then link the
Scenarios card to it (the latter method is described below in the "Plotting
the Threat Zone" section). In either case, each Scenarios card should
display the ID number of the facility or transportation route for which
you are plotting a threat zone.
Choose one of the three ways below to create a Scenarios card that
references a card in either the Facility Information or Transportation stack
that you have already linked to a map (refer to either the "Facility
Information" or "Transportation" chapter to learn how to create cards in
these stacks and link them to a map):
I Choose New Scenario from the CAMEO menu of an already-
linked Facility Information or Transportation card to create a new
Scenarios card for the facility or route. You'll be returned to the
new Scenarios card. You should see the name and ID number of
the facility or route on the new card. Because this facility or route
is already linked to a map object, the Scenarios card will be

you choose Show on Map from the new Scenarios card before

-------
Scenario from the CAMEO menu of the Chemical Inventory card
to create a new Scenarios card. Information about the stored
chemical, as well as the name and ID number of the facility, will
be copied onto the new Scenarios card. Because the Chemical
Inventory card references a Facility Information card that is linked
to a map object, the Scenarios card will be associated with the
object via the facility ID. Again, choose Show on Map from the
Scenarios card to view the map object on a MARPLOT map.
In the Scenarios stack, choose New Card from the Edit menu. If
you know the name of the facility or route, type in the name and
dick the FACILITY/ROUTE magnifying glass, C^. If, instead, you
know the ID number of the facility or route, type it in and dick on
the ID NO. magnifying glass, Q. If you enter an ID number, the
name of the route or facility should automatically be entered on
the card.
If you enter a name, CAMEO will ask you whether the name you
have entered is that of a facility or route, then will bring forward
the first card in the corresponding stack containing that name.

All information necessary to perform hazard analyses for EHS chemicals
is listed in the Technical Guidance, and is included on cards in
Codebreaker for these chemicals. If you choose a non-EHS chemical,
however, you'll need to enter this information into Codebreaker for the
chemical that you have selected. Scenarios refers to the Codebreaker card
for your chemical when it performs screening or scenarios calculations. If
the required information isn't available in Codebreaker, Scenarios will
alert you that it needs to know the physical state of the chemical, and will
ask you whether you would like to go to the Codebreaker card for your
chemical in order to indicate the chemical's physical state.
4-6-7
-------
Codonrookor has no phytical stato for this
compound. Do you wont to go to Codobroakor
now?
Click OK to go to Codebreaker.
You'll be taken to the Codebreaker card for your chemical. Below the
»Hazards Analysis» label, you'll see the information fields that must
be filled in.
In all cases, you'll need to choose the chemical's physical state at 68° F -
either SOLID, LIQUID, or GAS - from the popup PHYSICAL STATE
menu. You'll also need to type in a value for the LOG (Level of Concern)
for the chemical Your LOC value must be in units of grams per cubic
meter (gm/m3).
For three types of chemicals, Scenarios also requires a liquid factor value
in order to calculate a threat zone radius. Scenarios requires a value for.
Liquid Factor Ambient (LFA) if the chemical is a liquid at
ambient temperature;
Liquid Factor Boiling (LFB) if the chemical is a liquid stored near
its boiling point;
Liquid Factor Molten (LFM) if the chemical is a molten solid.
You'll need to know two or three properties of a chemical to calculate a
liquid factor. See the "Calculating liquid factors" section to learn how to
4-6-8
-------

calculate each liquid factor. If your chemical is a gas or a solid in powder
or solution form, you do not need to enter a liquid factor value.
Once you have filled in all required values on the Codebreaker card for
your selected chemical, click on the button in the lower right comer of the
card to return to your Scenarios card.
If you need to modify these values later, you can access these fields again
by going to the card for this chemical in Codebreaker, clicking once on
the »Synonyms» label to toggle it to »Regulatory Infonnation»,
then holding down the option key while you dick on the label again to
toggle it to »Hazards Analysis».
The last piece of information that Scenarios must know about your
chemical is its storage state. If your chemical is a liquid, and it's stored
below its boiling point, choose No from the STORED NEAR BOILING
popup menu. If it's stored at or above boiling, choose Yes from the
menu. If your chemical is a solid, indicate its storage form by choosing
Powder, Solution, or Molten from the popup SOLID FORM menu (if
you haven't entered a liquid factor molten value for the chemical, you'll
be able to choose either Powder or Solution only).
C Choose screening or scenarios.
Next, decide whether you'd like to perform screening or scenarios
calculations. Check the label on the black bar running across each
Scenarios card. The word l^HESDS indicates that credible worst
case assumptions for release duration, wind speed, stability class, ground
roughness, and level of concern (if available) have been loaded into the
appropriate fields. These values will be used to calculate the radius of the
threat zone. If the label reads HI^BffiH / but you'd like to make
scenarios calculations, click on the label to toggle it to

You'll need to enter information about the circumstances of the release.
You may choose to enter information in either English or metric units.
Check whether the label on the black bar running across your Scenarios
toggle between these two options until the one you'd prefer is visible.
IMPORTANT
Values that you have already entered will not be
converted when you toggle between English and
metric units. That Is. If you had entered '50' into
the QUANTITY RELEASED field, then toggled

If you've chosen to make screening calculations, you don't need to enter
weather and topography information. Otherwise, enter values for
stability class, ground roughness, wind speed and direction. Whether
you're making screening or scenarios calculations, enter a quantity
released. If you're making scenarios calculations, enter a value for release
duration and, if you haven't already entered a value for level of concern
into Codebreaker, enter a value in this field on your Scenarios card. If the
container is diked, enter the area enclosed by the dike.

Plotting a threat zone
I Establishing a Link
Before you can plot a threat zone on a map in MARPLOT, the spill source
- either a facility, transportation route, or point along a route - must be
linked to either a symbol or polygon on the map. If you have already
associated a Scenarios card with a Facility Information or Transportation
card that is linked to a map object, then you have already linked the spill
source to a map object.
However, in the case of a Scenarios card associated with a transportation
route, you must decide whether you wish to plot a threat zone for an
entire route, or for a specific point along the route. You can choose to
associate a Scenarios card with an entire transportation route (and you
have already done so if you have associated a Scenarios card with a
Transportation card linked to a polygon object representing the route on a
map). This is appropriate if you are making screening calculations, since
you cannot predict the exact location of a release in advance. That is, you
will wish to make the assumption, for screening purposes, that a release
could occur anywhere along the route. You may sometimes wish instead
to associate a Scenarios card with a specific location along a
transportation route (or any specific location other than a facility). You
might do this, for example, in order to assess the risk of an accidental
release at a particularly busy intersection. To make such an association,
you'll need to link a Scenarios card to a map object marking the spill
location. Follow the steps below to do this:
I Create a Scenarios card that you wish to link to the spill location,
if you haven't already done so. This card should reference the ID
number for the route, even though you will link to one point
along the route.

the card.
4-6-13

2 Plotting the zone
Once you have linked the spill point to a map object, click
(just to the right of the radius estimate on the Scenarios card). MARPLOT
will come forward, and the threat zone will be plotted on the map around
the object with which you have associated or linked the Scenarios card.
Be patient; plotting the threat zone may take a few moments.
CAMEO will place a shaded circle object, representing the threat zone
and with the radius shown on the Scenarios card, around a facility object
or symbol marking a release point. If you entered a wind direction,
CAMEO will also place a polygon object inside the circle to represent the
chemical plume, oriented to the indicated direction.
To represent a threat zone around an open polygon object tracing a
transportation route, CAMEO will place a sequence of shaded objects
along the route, creating a corridor twice as wide at every point along the
route as the calculated radius.
When a threat zone is plotted on a map, CAMEO links the Scenarios card
to the map object(s) that make up the zone. CAMEO treats the collection
of threat zone objects as a single object for linking purposes.
4-6-14
-------
The objects making up the threat zone will be placed on a newly created
overlay on the MARPLOT map called "SCENARIO." This overlay is
locked to ensure that threat zones cannot be moved around on the map.
If you wish to keep the threat zone on the map, choose Save from
MARPLOT'S File menu (since you have made link changes to the map).
If you do not wish to keep the threat zone, choose Delete Scenario Object
from the CAMEO menu in CAMEO, then choose Save from the File
menu once you have finished viewing the zone.
Once the threat zone has been plotted, the mapping button
changes from a magnifying glass to a miniature chemical plume,
This helps you to identify easily those Scenario cards with plotted threat
zones. If you delete the zone from the map, the button picture will
change back to a magnifying glass.
Operations on threat zones
Once a threat zone is plotted, you can perform the following four
operations:
I Select Show on Map from the CAMEO menu of the Scenarios
card to go to MARPLOT (don't click the mapping button, or you
will have to wait while CAMEO re-calculates and re-displays the
threat zone). The objects making up the threat zone will be
selected so that you can distinguish it from other zones that you
may already have plotted on the map.
2 From MARPLOT, you can click on any of the objects making up a
threat zone (when there's more than one), then choose Get Info
from the Sharing menu to go to the Scenarios card for that zone.
3 If you change any of the inputs on the Scenarios card—such as
wind speed, stability class, or quantity released—CAMEO will
dear the radius field and will automatically delete the threat zone
from the map, since the radius calculation is no longer valid. The
mapping button will change back to a magnifying glass to indicate
4-6-15
-------
that the threat zone no longer exists. To plot a new threat zone,
just complete your modifications to the scenario or screening
inputs, click the calculator button to calculate a new radius, and
dick the mapping button again. MARPLOT will again come
forward, and the new zone will be plotted.
NOTE As you delete and re-plot threat zones, keep in
mind that you are making link changes to the
map. Be sure to save those changes.
4 Choose Delete Scenario Object from the CAMEO menu to delete
the zone that was plotted from the current card. Choose Delete
All Scenario Objects to delete all threat zones from all Scenarios
cards. Use this menu item with caution since it potentially erases
many threat zones, even those on maps other that the one which is
currently open.
Getting information about objects within a threat zone
Once you have plotted a threat zone in MARPLOT, you can take
advantage of the other map links you have set up, and MARPLOT'S
ability to select objects that are inside of other objects, to quickly identify
the populations that could be affected by an accidental release. Follow
these steps to do so:
I Use Scenarios to plot a threat zone on a map, following the steps
outlined above.
2 Select the MARPLOT objects that make up the threat zone. The
easiest way to do this is to go to the Scenarios card from which the
zone was created and choose Show on Map from the CAMEO
menu. This will select the component objects of the zone in
MARPLOT. As a short cut when the threat zone is just a single
circle object surrounding a single symbol object, you can simply
click on that circle in MARPLOT with the arrow tool to select it.
4-6-16

Once the zone objects have been selected, choose Select Inside
Object(s) from MARPLOT'S Overlays menu to select all the
objects within the threat zone.

Click once in the cell in the table for the stability class and wind
direction combination that you want to use. The wind direction
and stability class that you choose will be automatically entered
on the Scenarios card.
What's the difference between Scenarios and ALOHA?
CAMEO's air model, ALOHA, will produce a footprint plot for you,
showing the area downwind of an accidental release where chemical
concentrations in the air will be high enough to be of concern. What's the
difference between ALOHA's footprint and the threat zone plotted by the
Scenarios stack?
The Scenarios stack makes the simplified threat zone calculations
described in the Technical Guidance. ALOHA calculates and plots a
4-6-26
-------
footprint by taking into account many factors - such as additional
properties of the chemical, weather conditions, and the specific
characteristics of the release source - that are not included in Scenarios
calculations. ALOHA calculations are more complex, and often may
more accurately predict the effects of a release.
Calculating liquid factors
Use the following formulas to calculate liquid factors:
LFA
You'll need values for the chemical's molecular weight (MW) and
vapor pressure (VP) in mmHg at ambient temperature (68° F).
Then:
LFA = (2.16 x
LFB
You'll need values for the chemical's molecular weight (MW) and
boiling point (BP) in degrees K. Then:
LFB = (0. 48 x AfW0'*67 ) * BP
LFM
You'll need values for the chemical's molecular weight (MW),
melting point (MP) in degrees K, and vapor pressure (VP) in
mmHg at its melting point. Then:
LFM = (6.33 x HT^MW0 "^(VP) + MP
Choosing a stability class
Stability class is an estimate of atmospheric stability or mixing. Its value
depends on wind speed and amount of incoming solar radiation.
Incoming solar radiation can be estimated from sun angle, time of year,
and cloud cover. Stability class ranges from A to F. Class A is the most
unstable, F is the most stable, and D is considered neutral.

Chapter 4.7
Toxic Release Annual
Reports
Use the Toxic Release Annual Report stack to store information from
annual toxic chemical release reports filed by facilities in your area.
You may wish to use this stack to track reports of releases filed by
facilities subject to the emergency reporting provisions of Section 313 of
Title II! of SARA (the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act
of 1986). The purpose of the reporting requirements in this legislation is
to ensure that information about both routine and accidental releases of
toxic chemicals to the environment is readily available to citizens and to
state, local, and Federal governments.
Under Section 313, facilities with at least 10 employees that manufacture
or use more than threshold amounts of any of about 320 toxic chemicals
must submit annual toxic release reports, called Toxic Release Inventory
(TRI) reports, to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Each
report must include estimates of the total amount of each chemical either
routinely or accidentally released into the environment, or transferred to
another location, such as a waste disposal facility. TRI Reports describing
releases during the previous year must be filed by July 1 of each year.
The EPA must then compile the information from these reports into a
national electronic database, called the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI).
These reporting requirements are described in 40 CFR § 372.
A copy of this stack, without TRI information, has been included with
your copy of CAMEO. You may also obtain a Toxic Release Annual
Report stack preloaded with TRI information for your area from the
National Safety Council. Data from 1988 are currently available; data
from 1990 and 1991 should be available by April 1993. You can also
obtain TRI Report information as text files from the National Safety
4-7-1
-------
Council, the National Technical Information Service, or the U. S.
Government Printing Office. If you wish, you can simply replace the
Toxic Release Annual Report stack that comes with your copy of CAMEO
with the stack of data for your state. Or you can use CAMEO's search
and import/export functions to search through the stack of state data,
then import only data for certain facilities, or only for facilities in your
city, into your Toxic Release Annual Report stack. Similarly, you can use
CAMEO's import/export function to import data from a text file of TRI
Report information into your Toxic Release Annual Report stack. Refer to
the "Searching" and "Import/Export" chapters to learn how to search
through a CAMEO stack and how to import and export information
among stacks and text files.

Maps and the Toxic Release Annual Report stack
You cannot link Toxic Release Annual Report cards to objects on a
MARPLOT map. However, you can access objects on MARPLOT maps
from cards in this stack, as long as the objects are linked to cards in the
Facility Information stack.
Follow the steps below to create a Toxic Release Annual Report card that
can take advantage of an existing link between a facility card and map to
access a map object:
I Link a Facility Information card to a map object, such as a symbol
marking the facility's location. (Refer to the 'Mapping' chapter to
learn how to create map links.)
2 Enter the identical facility ID number shown on the Facility
Information card onto a Toxic Release Annual Report card. Fill
out the remaining data fields on the card with TRI information.
3 Now that the ID number shown on the Toxic Release Annual
Report card matches the ID number on the Facility Information
card, you can access the map object from the Toxic Release Annual
Report card. From the card's CAMEO menu, choose Show on
Map. MARPLOT will come forward to display the map, and the
object linked to the facility card will appear selected, so that you
can distinguish it from other symbol objects on the map.
4-7-7
-------
You can associate any number of Toxic Release Annual Report cards with
Facility Information cards that are linked to map objects. If you create a
search collection containing Toxic Release Annual Report cards
associated with facility cairds linked to map objects, you can choose Show
Collection on Map to view the map objects with which the Toxic Release
Annual Report cards are associated.
While you can access, from CAMEO, the map objects associated with
Toxic Release Annual Report cards, you cannot access cards in this stack
from a map. If you select a facility symbol on a map, then choose Get
Info from the CAMEO submenu of MARPLOT'S Sharing menu, the
Facility Information card linked to that object will come forward. No
Toxic Release Annual Report cards that may be associated with that
facility will be displayed. However, once you have accessed a facility
card from a map object, you can search the Toxic Release Annual Report
stack for all the cards for the facility. You can also view TRI information
for the facility by choosing Reports... from the Search menu of the linked
Facility Information card, then choosing the report template, Annual
Releases for Facility, to view TRI information for all the chemicals
described on Toxic Release Annual Report cards for this facility.
Tips

Maps and the Incident Report stack
You can choose to link an Incident Report card to an object on a
MARPLOT map, or you can choose simply to take advantage of existing
links between maps and other stacks in order to access map objects from
cards in this stack. You can accomplish this by referencing cards in these
other stacks from Incident Report cards, via the ID field. For example,
you can generate an Incident Report card for a facility by choosing New
Incident from the CAMEO menu of the Facility Information card
describing that facility. The Incident Report and Facility Information
cards both will display the same facility ID number. It is the shared ID
number that is the key to creating the association necessary to allow
access to the related facility's symbol on a map from the Incident Report
card.
You will need to link Incident Report cards directly to map objects if you
wish to mark locations of spills and releases with symbols placed on
map(s), each linked to an Incident Report card. You may also wish to link
Incident Report cards and map objects if you will need to refer quickly or
often to information in the Incident Report stack while you're working
with a map in MARPLOT. If you expect only to refer occasionally to a
map while you work with cards in the Incident Report stack, though, you
4-9-8
-------
may prefer instead just to use existing links between maps and other
stacks to access map objects from Incident Report cards. Refer to the
"Mapping" chapter to learn more about the considerations to take into
account whenever you need to decide whether or not to link an Incident
Report card to a map.
Making use of links to other stacks
When you directly link a Facility Information or Transportation card to a
map object, then enter the name and ID number of the facility or route on
an Incident Report card, you will be able to access the same map object
from any Incident Report card that references the linked card via a facility
or transportation ID number.
Follow the steps below to create an Incident Report card that can take
advantage of an existing link between a map and a facility or
transportation card to access a map object:
I Link a Facility Information or Transportation card to a map object,
such as a symbol marking the location of a facility or an open
polygon tracing a route. (Refer to the "Mapping" chapter to learn
how to create map links.)
2 Enter the name of the facility or route and its ID number onto an
Incident Report card. Fill out the remaining data fields on the
card with information describing the incident.
3 Now that the ID number shown on the Incident Report card
matches the ID number on the linked card, you can access the
map object from the Incident Report card. From the card's
CAMEO menu, choose Show on Map. MARPLOT will come
forward to display the map, and the object representing the
facility or route will appear selected, so that you can distinguish it
from other objects on the map. (You also can use the CAMEO
menu item Show Collection on Map to view map objects with
which a collection of Incident Report cards are associated in mis
way.)

Historical Weather
The Historical Weather stack contains weather records collected over a
period of time for stations in one of the 50 states, the District of Columbia,
or Puerto Rico. You can use these records to design accident scenarios
representative of conditions in your area. The stack contains seasonal and
annual data for wind direction (the direction that the wind is coming
from) and atmospheric stability class. Stability class is a measure of the
atmosphere's stability or mixing. It ranges from A (very unstable) to F
(very stable). The stability of the atmosphere affects how airborne
pollutants disperse during an accidental release.
This information was prepared from STability ARray (STAR) weather
records compiled by the National Climatic Data Center (NOAA).
Adding the stack for your area to CAMEO
Beginning in January 1993, you can obtain a Historical Weather stack
containing weather data for your state or territory from the Hazardous
Materials Response and Assessment Division of the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration. Call (206) 526-6317 for more information or
to make a request.
Place your Historical Weather stack inside your CAMEO™ folder. It
should not be inside another folder. Check to be sure that there is a
"Weather Tables" template inside your Reports folder in your
"CAMEO™" folder. If you don't, copy the "Weather Tables" file into
your Reports folder. You can then access the stack from any other
CAMEO stack by clicking on its button in the Navigator.

For each station, you'll find a set of cards displaying weather information
collected at that station. On each card in this stack, you'll see the
following information:
STATION NAME
OBSERVATION
PERIOD
STATE
SEASON
The name of the station where the information was
collected.
The period of time during which the information was
collected.
The state where the station \s located.
The season of the year for which the information
applies. Season can be Spring. Summer, Fall, Winter.
or Annual (in the last case, the information applies for
the whole year).
Three different types of cards for each station display information about:
STABILITY CLASS/WIND DIRECTION
This type of card displays a table. Each cell in the table shows the
percentage of the time that each combination of wind direction and
atmospheric stability class was observed during the observation period
and season shown on the card. Look in the table to find the most
common combination of wind direction and stability class (look for the
largest number in the table, then look directly across to the vertical axis of
the table to see the wind direction, and directly down to the horizontal
axis to see the stability class associated with this percent frequency). You
can also see the combinations of wind direction and stability that never
occur during a particular season at a particular station (you'll see "0.0" in
the cell in the table for such a combination). You can use the information
from these cards in the Scenarios stack to perform hazard analyses.
WIND DIRECTION
A second type of card displays a bar graph. The graph shows the
percentage of the time, during the season shown on the card and over the
observation period shown, that each wind direction was observed. The
tallest bar on the graph is that for the most frequent wind direction.

Climatic Data Center used only five stability classes (A to E), rather than
the six (A to F) used in CAMEO. On the cards for such stations, you'll see
that there are no data for stability class F. In other cases, seven stability
classes were used (A to G). Before these data were compiled into the

Searching
Introduction to searching
Some CAMEO stacks can be quite large, containing hundreds or
thousands of cards. For instance, the Codebreaker stack has more than
4,000 cards. There are two ways to search a stack: using the " Find"
command built into HyperCard and using the items in CAMEO's
Search menu.
Using the " Find" command involves typing a simple command to
HyperCard (such as find "chlorine") in its message box, and then
repeatedly pressing the Return key to cycle through the matching
cards until you find the specific card that you need.
To search with the Search menu items, you give CAMEO a potentially
complex set of criteria that specifies the information you want to find.
CAMEO then looks through all of the cards in the stack and puts any
cards that match your criteria into a "search collection." You can then
browse through the cards in the search collection. You can also go on
to modify the search collection by doing a combined search to add
more cards, or by doing a subsearch to eliminate certain cards, until
you find just the collection of cards that you were looking for.
in the following pages, we'll look at example searches of the Facility
Information and Codebreaker stacks. The methods for specifying the
search criteria and performing the search are the same for all CAMEO
stacks, so you can apply the techniques shown here to any stack.
However, you cannot search the RIDS and Help stacks (except by using
the HyperCard " Find" command).
5-1
-------
Using HyperCard's Find command
You can quickly locate information in a stack by using the search
capability built into HyperCard itself. This search method is often
faster but usually less flexible than using CAMEO's Search menu.
Here are the steps to follow to search through the Codebreaker stack
for chemicals containing chlorine. You can find these chemicals by
searching for the characters " Cl/'representing chlorine, in their
chemical formulas:
1 Select Find from the Go menu or press command-F.
2 The HyperCard message box appears, with the command find
" " already typed in. Type the word, characters, or number you
are searching for between the quotation marks.
3 If you know the name of the field your text should appear in,
add the words in field 'Yield name. Thus, if you are searching for
the word "d" in the field "formula" the entire command in
the message box would look like the example below.
find *cr In field -formula*
Press return. Each time you press return, CAMEO will display
the next card which contains the combination of the specific
criteria that you supplied.
5-2
-------
Using the search window
When you choose New Search from the Search menu, you'll see a
window where you can set up a search of the current stack.

The upper left box displays a list of all of the fields on the cards in the
stack in which you are currently working. The center-left box displays
options that you can use to alter or qualify the search criteria; you can
organize your search by text, number, or date. The lower left box
contains the specific information that you are looking for.
The information on CAMEO cards is organized into data "fields." A
Facility Information card, for example, displays fields for the name,
address, fire district, and other information about a given facility. In
the upper left box of the search window, you select the field that you
want to search on. For instance, to search the Facility Information
stack for all the facilities on a given street, you would select the
"Street" field.
In the lower left box of the search window, you type the text (or
number or date) that you are interested in searching for. For instance,
to search the Facility Information stack for all the facilities on Main St.,
you would type "Main" (or perhaps "Main St." if you are concerned
about conflicts with, say, Main Ave.). If you are entering a date, you
5-3
-------
can use a variety of formats. All of the following dates are acceptable:
4/5/92; April 5,1992; Apr. 5,1992; and 4-5-92.
Use the center-left box of the search window to indicate how the text
you have typed in the lower-left box should be compared against the
specified field in the stack. For instance, to search the Facility
Information stack for all the facilities on a given street, you would type
all or part of the street name into the lower-left box. You would
choose "contains word" in the center-left box if you had typed in a
complete word or phrase, and either "contains word starting with "or
"contains characters" if you typed in just part of a word.

Just above the center-left box are buttons which you use to specify
whether the text you are looking for is actually a number, a date, or
general text (words, characters, or a mixture of characters and
numbers). When you choose different formats, the comparison
options in the center-left box change. For instance, it makes sense to
compare dates using "is before" but this does not make sense for
words. (You have the option only of making text searches of the
Codebreaker stack, because text searches are much faster to complete
than date and number searches. However, you can treat numbers such
as CAS numbers as text for the purpose of finding them in
Codebreaker cards.)
5-4
-------
The boxes on the right side of the search window summarize the
search criteria as you specify them. There are four boxes, which you
can connect in pairs by clicking And or Or . Notice that the top two
and bottom two boxes are grouped together, indicating the logical
structure of the search.
For instance, if you fill in the first three boxes on the right, connecting
the top two with Or and the top pair and bottom box with And,
CAMEO first will search for all cards that match the criteria in either of
the first two boxes. It will then search for the subset of these cards that
match the criteria in the third box. It is this subset of cards that will be
included in the search collection. If both of the connectors are And,
CAMEO will only put cards into the search collection that match all
three criteria.
Searching all four boxes
When you fill in all four boxes on the right, CAMEO finds the cards
that match the criteria of the first pair, and the cards that match the
criteria of the second pair, and either combines them or finds their
overlap, depending on whether the pairs are connected with And or
Or.

Searching for words and characters
Using the correct word/character search option will make your search
as accurate and efficient as possible. In general, if you know one or
more whole words in the chemical name, street, or whatever field you
are searching, it is best to use "Contains word." You can use this option
both for words and for short phrases.
If you know the first few letters of a word, use "Contains word starting
with." Use "Contains characters" only when you know one or more
consecutive characters, that might not occur at the beginning of a
word. For example, you might find chemicals containing fluoride by
searching for all formulas in Codebreaker that contain the character
"F." However, CAMEO can complete a "contains word" or "contains
word starting with" search much faster than a "contains characters"
search, so choose one of the first two options whenever you can.
5-6
-------
In some cases, it may not be clear to you what counts as a word in
CAMEO (as opposed to a string of characters within a word). Here is a
summary of some potentially confusing cases. To CAMEO, a word is a
collection of characters (which can be either letters or numbers) that:
c» ends with a comma (e.g., "I" is a word in "1,2,3" )
o* is preceded or followed by a hyphen (e.g., "BUTYL" is a word in
"DI-SEC-BUTYL")
<=* ends with a space (e.g., "cyanic" is a word in "cyanic acid."
"Cyanic acid" can also be a word if you type it in as your search
criterion, because to CAMEO, words can contain spaces.)
cs> ends with a period (e.g.," BF4" is a word in "BF4.1 /2Cd" )
<=s» ends with a forward slash (e.g., "1" is a word in "BF4.1 /2Cd" )
<=* is on a line by itself (e.g., "1234 Michigan Avenue" is a word)
Specifying the search criteria: Example I
Think of your search criteria in terms of a sentence in English first.
For instance, you might want to search for all cards in the Codebreaker
stack "with chemical names containing" the letters "chloro" and also
containing the word "acid."
I Open your Codebreaker stack and choose New Search from the
Search menu.
2 To set up these criteria in the search window, click the top box
on the right to select it (if it is not already selected).
3 Using the three boxes on the left side, select the "Chemical
name" field and "Contains characters."
4 Type "chloro" in the lower box. This information is reflected
in the top box on the right.
5-7
-------

Click And between the top two boxes on the right. The second
box on the right becomes selected.

The boxes on the right now reflect the English statement of the criteria:
Chemical name - Contains characters - chloro - And - Chemical name -
Contains word - acid. Notice that we had to use the "Contains
characters" option with "chloro" instead of "Contains word." This is
because the letters "chloro" always appear as part of a longer word,
and do not always appear at the beginning of a word. When you run
this search in Codebreaker, you'll find 25 cards in the search collection.
Click on either the right-pointing or left-pointing arrow in the upper

As is reflected on the right, we are asking to search for " all cards
whose formula contains the letters "HCl" And whose name contains
at least one word starting with "chloro." When you run this search in
Codebreaker, you'll find three cards in the search collection.
5-9
-------
Running the search and browsing through the search collection
Once you have entered the criteria, you can click Find to begin the
actual search (or click Cancel if you decide not to do the search). As it
searches, CAMEO records in the search collection the identification
numbers of the cards that match your criteria. When the search is
complete, you'll see the first of the collected cards. Between the two
arrow buttons in the upper right corner of the card you'll see the
number of found cards and the position of the current card in the
collection.
For example, if you click Find for the above example, you will see "1 of
3" on the first card found, indicating that this is the first of three cards
that meet your search criteria. (If CAMEO is unable to find any cards, a
message to that effect will be displayed.)
Use the arrow buttons to page forward and backward through the set of
cards collected in the search. (You can also use the left and right arrow
keys on your keyboard or the Go menu items Next and Prev to move
through these cards.) While the results of the search are being
displayed (i.e., while the numbers are shown between the arrows, as
above), your movement among the cards in the stack is limited to the
set of found cards.
An alternative method for browsing through the cards in the search
collection is to choose View Collection from the Search menu. The
cards in the search collection will be listed in a table, similar to the
table presented by the Reports... menu item. See the discussion of
Reports later in this manual for information on browsing through the
table.
5-10
-------
Select Clear Search from the Search menu to clear the search
information so that you can move through the entire stack.
NOTE It's a good Idea to clear your searches
routinely before quitting CAMEO.
Combine Search
After you have done a search, you can add cards to those that you have
already found. You might wish to do this, for example, if you had
completed a search for all cards with a certain CAS number, and then
realized that you actually wanted to work with those cards plus the
cards with a different CAS number. You would do a combined search
to add the new cards to the search collection. To do this, select
Combine Search... from the Search menu. The search window will
appear again. You can clear the previous criteria at this point by
selecting each filled box on the right side of the search window and
clicking Clear. Fill in the new criteria, dick Find, and the cards found
in this new search will be added to those from the previous search.
Subsearch
Sometimes a search finds more cards than you had hoped. For
instance, imagine that during an emergency response, only two
consecutive digits of a UN number, "10," can be discerned on a
placard. A search for all cards in Codebreaker containing these
characters in the UN number field puts almost 200 matching cards into
the search collection. If response team members had any more
information about the chemical, they could narrow this set down
using a subsearch.
For instance, if they see the letters "meth" as part of the chemical
name on a drum, they would do a subsearch by choosing Subsearch...
from the Search menu, clearing the previous criteria, and entering the
new criteria to find the characters "meth" in the chemical name field.
When the new search was run, only those cards that were previously
in the search collection and that contained "meth" in their chemical
name would be retained in the search collection. If this reduces the
5-11
-------
search collection sufficiently, team members could then browse
through it by hand. If not, they would have to find more information
and do another subsearch to narrow the set even further.

Using Combine Search and Subsearch
Combine Search adds cards to an existing search collection, creating a
new search collection including all cards that match the criteria from
the previous search and all cards that match the criteria from this new
search.
Subsearch removes cards from the search collection, keeping only
those cards that match the criteria from both the previous search and
this new search. Thus, using Combine Search is logically equivalent to
a single complex search where the criteria from the two parts are
connected with an Or.. Using Subsearch is logically equivalent to a
single complex search where the criteria from the two parts are
connected with an And.
However, in spite of this seeming redundancy, Combine Search and
Subsearch are useful for two main reasons. First, when you do your
initial search, you may not be in a position to specify the complete
criteria. For instance, you might not realize that you need to be more
specific until your search has found one hundred cards . Second, using
5-14
-------
Combine Search or Subsearch is faster than redoing a single complex
search since CAMEO needs to examine less information to perform
just the second half of the search.
Another important consideration when using these functions is that
the search collection doesn't retain a "history" of how it was created.
Thus, if you do a search and then a combined search and then a
subsearch, your search collection will contain cards that meet a fairly
complex set of criteria, but these criteria will not be documented
anywhere; you will have to keep track of how the current search
collection came to be.
Similarly, there is no way to "undo" a search, combined search, or
subsearch. Once the search collection has been modified, you can only
modify it further or clear it and start again with a new search. In
particular, if you want to get back to your original set of found cards
(before you had done any combined or subsearches), you'll have to do
a new search and enter your initial criteria again.
Tips for making your searches more efficient
c* The slowest CAMEO search will be one looking for characters;
the fastest CAMEO search will be one looking for "Word
starting with."
c& Number and date searches are slower than searches for a word
or "Word starting with." Use a "Contains word" search if you
wish to find a specific number or date. Use a number search if
you're looking for numbers greater than or less than a specific
number. Use a date search if you're unsure of the format of the
date you're searching for (CAMEO will recognize several data
formats), or to find dates before or after a specified date.
°* If you connect summary boxes on the right side of the search
window with And, put the more restrictive criterion (that is,
the one that fewer cards are likely to match) in the top
summary box, which gets checked first as each card is
5-15
-------
considered. CAMEO performs the top search first, then will
check through the cards meeting your first criterion for those
meeting your second criterion.
If you are running under MultiFinder (true automatically if
you are running under System 7), you can conduct your
searches in the background while you work in another
application.
Click the MultiFinder (or application) icon in the upper-right
comer of your screen.
You may cancel your search at any time by pressing command-
period (hold down the clover key and press the period key).
This stops the search immediately; you are placed on the last
card found before you halted the search.
As you enter the criteria for a search, you may clear out
information from any of the four boxes in the right side of the
search window by clicking in the box, then clicking the Clear
button. You also may double-click on either an And or Or
button that you had previously clicked to de-select it.

-------
Using Reports™
CAMEO contains a runtime version of Reports™ from Nine to Five
Software. This HypeiCard extension allows you to view and print
information from CAMEO stacks in spreadsheet-style table format. The
table displays information from cards from the current stack, with
information from one card in each row and card field names displayed as
column headings.
There are two ways to bring up a Reports table (also called a "view").
One is to choose View Collection from the Search menu after you
perform a search. This brings up a table of information from all of the
cards found in your search.
NtlMl
riifel
The particular fields that you'll see listed in the table will differ for each
CAMEO stack.
You can also view a Reports table, whether or not there is a search
collection, by choosing Reports... from the Search menu. This lets you
choose from a list of at least two pre-defined Reports formats, depending
on which stack you are in. The format that you choose determines the
cards and fields for which information will be shown in the table.
The pre-defined Reports™ formats
Except for the Codebreaker, RIDS, Building Plans, and Help stacks, each
CAMEO stack contains a set of pre-defined Reports formats, listed below.
Besides the formats listed below, most stacks include an additional
Reports format called Mailing... Use this format after you have run a
search in a stack, to save information from collected cards to a file that
can be used by a mail merge application (when you choose the Mailing...

format, no table is displayed on the screen). Finally, if you have
purchased Reports from Nine to Five Software, you can choose Other...
from the list of Reports formats to choose a file containing a custom
format that you have designed. If you don't have a legal copy of Reports,
you won't be able to create your own Reports formats.

cards in table format in a new window.
You can view information from the selected cards by scrolling through
the table. You can also search for specific records or print the table
(users who have purchased Reports can also modify displayed tables).

Printing in HyperCard's report format
You can use the Print Card... and Print Field menu items in the File
menu of your CAMEO stacks to print out some or all of the information
on the current top. card, just as you would in any HyperCard stack.
HyperCard also can print information from one or more cards in its own
report formats. Do not confuse these HyperCard printed reports with
printed reports that you create using the Reports™ software. Bom
HyperCard and Reports allow you to select certain cards and control the
layout of the data. But HyperCard's report-printing feature is a standard
way to print multiple cards in HyperCard. Reports allows you to view
and print information organized in table format.
6-12

You can use any of three different menu items to invoke HyperCard's
report-printing feature from CAMEO.
Choose Print Report... from the File menu to print reports

containing information from all cards in the current search
collection (those cards found during your most recent search).
Choose Print Record... from the Search menu to print

When you choose any of the three options above, you are presented with
HyperCard's standard Print Report layout, where you can view or
modify the report layout. The layout that you'll see when you choose
one of these menu items is CAMEO's default layout for the current stack.
The layout specifies how multiple cards are to be placed on a page, which
fields are to be shown where, margin width and placement, and other
information. You may wish to use these default CAMEO layouts without
modification/ but you can create your own HyperCard report formats or
modify any default layout. For more information on modifying or
creating your own report layouts, see your HyperCard user's guide.

Chapter 7
Import/Export
Introduction
CAMEO allows you to import and export information to and from
CAMEO stacks, other HyperCard stacks, and text documents. For
example, you can export data from your Chemical Inventory stack into a
text file for use in another document or application. Or you may import
data from text files or other HyperCard stacks into CAMEO stacks.
Choose Import/Export from the Search menu of a CAMEO stack to access
the Import/Export window. You'll be able to choose:
c* whether you'd like to import or export data;
"^ where you'd like to import data from or export data to;
c* which data you'd like to import or export; and
cs» details about how the data should be transferred.
You can transfer data:
<*» from a CAMEO stack to another HyperCard stack;
<=^ from another HyperCard stack to a CAMEO stack;
*=» from a CAMEO stack to a text file; or
<=» from a text file to a CAMEO stack.
IMPORTANT Before you begin any data transfer, make a
copy of the file (either a stack or text file) that
will receive trie transferred data. If something
goes wrong, you'll still have a copy of your
original file and you'll be able to try the transfer
again.
7-1
-------
Exporting and the search collection
When exporting data from a CAMEO stack, you have the choice of
exporting data from all cards in the stack, or just from the set of cards that
you find by running a search using the Search menu. For example, you
could search your Incident Report stack for all EHS chemicals, then
export information about only these chemicals either to a text file or into
another stack.
Import/Export will assume that you want to export only the cards found
in the most recent search if, when you choose the Import/Export menu
item, you have a set of cards in the search collection of the current stack
(that is, when there are numbers present in the upper-right corner of each
visible card). If you wish to export information from the entire stack,
make sure the search collection is empty (that is, no numbers are visible
in the upper-right comer). Choose Clear Search from the Search menu to
dear the search collection.
Choosing Source and Target files
The "Source" is the text file or HyperCard stack from which you are
transferring data. The "Target" is the text file or stack to which you are
transferring data. When you choose Import/Export from the Search menu
of a CAMEO stack, CAMEO will ask you whether you want to import or
export data.
Import or ENport record*?
( Cancel J [ Import ]
The current CAMEO stack (the stack from which you chose
Import/Export) can be either the Target or the Source. If you choose to
export data, CAMEO will know that the current stack is the Source; you'll
be exporting data from this stack to another stack or a text file. If you
choose to import data, CAMEO will know that the current stack is the
Target; it will be receiving data from another stack or from a text file.

If your Source stack contains more than one background, you'll be
asked to indicate the background to export data from.
To use a text file as your Source:
I The text file that you'd like to use as your data Source should be
organized like a spreadsheet. In fact, the easiest text files to
import into CAMEO stacks are those that you've prepared in a
spreadsheet application, then saved in tab-delimited text format.
2 The first line of your text file should include the names of all the
data fields in the file. Include a single tab character Qust press
your tab key) between each field name, and a single return
character Qust press your return key) to mark the end of the line (a
spreadsheet program will insert these tabs and returns for you
automatically).
3 The remaining lines in the text file should include the values,
words, or phrases to be placed in the data fields of cards in the
stack These entries should be in exactly the same order as the
field names in the first row (on a spreadsheet, each column would
correspond to a field, with the field name at the top of the
column). Include a single tab between each entry, and a return at
the end of each line. Each row (line) in your text file includes the
information for one card in your stack.
NOTE
It's not mandatory to include the field names
at the top of the text file. However, you'll find
it much easier to keep track of your data as
you import it if you do so.

FILE This \s the name of the file or stack receiving or yielding the
data being transferred.
TYPE This \6 the type of file—either a HyperCard stack or a text
file—receiving or yielding the data.
3K6NP This is the name of the background of a HyperCard stack.
You'll also see two scrolling lists of names of data fields, one on the left
side of the Import/Export window, and one on the right. These lists
include all the data fields included in the Source and Target files. If the
Source or Target is a text file, each name in the list represents the heading
for a column of values in the file. If the Source or Target is a HyperCard
stack, each name in the list represents the name of a background data
field. If the field is a shared text field on the stack (that is, the text it
contains is identical among all cards with the given background), its
name is underlined. (Refer to your HyperCard user's manual to learn
more about shared text.)
Setting up the data transfer
Once you've chosen a Source and a Target, you need to specify exactly
how the transfer is to proceed. You have to indicate which fields in the
Source correspond, or are "linked," to fields in the Target When a field
in the Source is linked to a field in the target, information from that field
in the Source will be copied to the corresponding field in the Target
during the transfer. The names of linked fields appear in bold type in the
scrolling list. You'll also see that Source data fields are numbered in
order of their appearance on the card. Once a Source and a Target field
have been linked together, the number of the Source data field appears to
7-8

the immediate left of the name of the linked Target field. Refer to these
field numbers to identify linked pairs of fields.

Import/Export tries to help you with the linking process by initially
linking all fields in the Source to fields in the Target with the same name.
IMPORTANT Use care when importing or exporting the
contents of shared text fields.
In particular, do not import or export the contents of the "Version
Number" or "Available Reports" fields, or of any shared text fields
related to maps or map objects (such as "Map Object ID" or "Map Link")
between any CAMEO stacks. You can, however, import or export the
contents of some shared text fields without problem, and it may
occasionally be useful to you to do so. For example, you might choose to
export the contents of the "Organization Types" shared text field from
one to another Contacts stack if you had edited the entries in that field in
your Source stack You can also export the contents of shared text fields
from a CAMEO stack to a text file without problem.

-------
Modifying a linking scheme
If you're not satisfied with this Unking scheme (for instance/ you want to
link two fields with different names or not link two fields with the same
name), you can modify it using the Link, Link All, and Remove buttons
in the Import/Export window.
I Use Link to link a Source field to a Target field. Click on the
desired field names, one in each list, to highlight them, then click
Link. The field names become bold to indicate that they are
linked. (Note that if you're exporting data to a new text file,
which does not yet include any data fields, you'll just need to click
on the names of the data fields in the Source file that you'd like to
export from, then click Link.)
2 Link All is a quick way to link all of the Source and Target fields
in the order in which they appear in the Import/Export window.
That is, the first field in the Source list will be linked to the first in
the Target list, the second to the second, and so on.
WARNING Don't do this unless you know that you want to
link the fields In the exact order of their
appearance.
3 Remove removes a link between a Source and a Target field. To
use it, click the name of either linked field to highlight it and click
Remove. The field you selected and its corresponding field in the
other list are shown in plain type to indicate that they are no
longer linked.

At the top of the Prefs... dialog box are two check boxes related to
importing from and exporting to text files. The first. Take field
names from first line, is checked by default whenever you are
working with text files. When this box is checked, Import/Export
will assume that the first line of a text file you're importing from
contains the field names. Also, when this box is checked and you
are exporting to a text file, Import /Export will write field names
into the first line. If this box is not checked, Import/Export will
assume the first line in the import text file contains actual data, not

-------
field names. It mil represent the fields of the text file simply as
numbers in the scrolling list and the field names will not be
written into the fust line when exporting to a text file.
The second check box in the Prefs... dialog box, Skip first line
while importing, is relevant only when you are importing data
from a text file. When this box is checked, Import/ Export does
not attempt to transfer the first line of the Source text file. If the
first line of the Source text file contains field names, you should
check both Take field names from first line and Skip first line
while importing. If the first line of the Source text file does not
contain field names but instead contains the first line of data, leave
Skip first line while importing unchecked so that the first line of
data will indeed be transferred. Even if you do not have field
names as the first line of the source file, you can leave Take field
names from first line checked. When you do this, Import/Export
will display the first line of data as if it were the field names. So,
for instance, instead of seeing "Phone Number," you might see
"(206) 555-1212" as a field name. The idea here is that even
though it is somewhat strange to identify fields by the data they
contain, anything is better than having to identify them simply by
their position in the file. Thus, if you are working with text files
that do not contain field information as their first line, you will
probably want to keep Take field names from first line checked
at all times.
If you are exporting to a HyperCard stack, you can choose
whether Import/Export should append a new card to the Target
stack for each card /record in the Source file, or attempt to match
each card/record from the Source file to a card in the Target file,
and then replace the data on that found card with the data from
the Source card/record. Appending is the default setting. If you
prefer the match-and-replace behavior, click Update. You then
need to tell Import/Export how to find corresponding cards by
specifying a field that it uses as the matching key.
7-12
-------
IMPORTANT During match-and-replace updating, the key
field of each card/record in the Source or
Target must contain a unique value. Otherwise.
during the data transfer, only the first
matching record will be updated. In CAMEO.
Facility IP Number in the Facility information
stack Is an example of an appropriate key field,
because no two facilities should ever share the
same ID number.
For each card/record in the Source file, Import/Export looks in the
Target stack for a card that has the same value for the key field you
specify. When the card is found, data on that card will be replaced with
data from the Source card/record. In the event that a matching card is
not found in the Target stack, you can specify whether Import/Export
skips the Source record, or appends it as a new card to the end of the
Target stack. You choose this preference by clicking Ignore or Add at the
bottom of the Prefs... dialog box.
Note that items in the Prefs... dialog box are dimmed to indicate that
they are unavailable if they do not make sense in the current context. For
instance, you cannot choose the Update mode of transfer when exporting
to a text file since Import/Export cannot modify the records of a text file
in the same way it can modify the cards of a stack.
Working with settings
The other items in the Settings menu are Load Setting, Save Setting, and
Delete Setting. You may find that you perform some data transfers
regularly. For example, perhaps you submit a monthly report of chemical
inventories at facilities in your area. To do so, every month you export
information from some of the data fields in your Chemical Inventory
stack to a text file. You can use these last three items in the Settings
menu to maintain a list of commonly used Import/Export settings. By
saving a setting and loading it back it the next time you want to perform
the same type of transfer, you save yourself the trouble of having to make
the settings again by hand.
7-13
-------
To save a setting that you use frequently, first set up the data
transfer. That is, choose a Source and a Target file, link the data
fields that you'd like to transfer data between, and set preferences
for the transfer using the Prefs... item in the Settings menu.
Before beginning the actual transfer, choose Save Setting... from
the Settings menu. Type in a name for your current setting, then

Chapter 8
Mapping:
CAMEO and MARPLOT
You'll use MARPLOT, CAMEO's mapping module, whenever you use
maps with CAMEO. You'll use a map when you plot a threat zone from
Scenarios or link a chemical facility, location of a hazardous chemical
spill, contact, special population, or transportation route to its symbol on
a map in MARPLOT.
You may use either of two kinds of maps when you use MARPLOT with
CAMEO. MARPLOT was primarily designed to use special maps
generated from TIGER (Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding
and Referencing) files, developed by the Bureau of the Census for the
1990 census. You can also create maps from PICT or Paint files created by
any standard Macintosh graphics program or digitizer /scanner. Refer to
your MARPLOT manual to learn how to generate maps from PICT or
Paint files, and for more information about obtaining or generating
MARPLOT maps based on TIGER files and using them in MARPLOT.
To learn all that you'll need to know in order to use MARPLOT with
CAMEO, as you read through this chapter, refer to your MARPLOT
manual as well, to learn more about editing and using MARPLOT maps.
Be sure to read the sections of the manual describing linking between
MARPLOT and other applications, and MARPLOT'S Sharing menu.
Using MARPLOT with CAMEO: general comments
Although MARPLOT is the "mapping module" of CAMEO, it is a
separate application. While you might use MARPLOT only in
conjunction with CAMEO, it is important to remember that they are
actually two separate programs communicating with each other. There
are two main reasons why you should keep this fact in mind.
8-1
-------
First, for the two programs to share information, they must both be
running on your computer at the same time. This means that your
computer must have enough free memory (RAM) to hold both in
memory at once (depending on the number of map objects you have,
MARPLOT and CAMEO each requires about one megabyte, or more, of
your computer's memory). Whenever you do something in CAMEO that
requires communication with MARPLOT, or vice versa, if one of the two
applications isn't yet running, the other will automatically attempt to
start it. While the two programs have been designed to work together as
smoothly as possible, don't be surprised when MARPLOT suddenly
comes forward in response to a map-related action in CAMEO.
Because CAMEO may need to access MARPLOT even when it is not
currently running, be sure to keep the MARPLOT application in its
proper place inside the "MARPLOT Folder" inside your CAMEO folder.
Also, keep the "MARPLOT maps" folder as a subfolder within
"MARPLOT Folder."
IMPORTANT
Keep the MARPLOT application Inside Its own
"MARPLOT Folder" within the CAMEO folder.
Keep the "MARPLOT map*" folder inside
"MARPLOT Folder."
The second reason to remember that MARPLOT and CAMEO are
separate programs is that you must be careful to keep the information in
the two programs consistent. In particular, when you establish links
between cards in CAMEO and map objects in MARPLOT (as described
below) you must save the changes to the map in MARPLOT. The
changes to the CAMEO cards are saved automatically by HyperCard. If
you were to establish links between cards and objects, quit HyperCard,
and then quit MARPLOT without saving changes, you would end up
with cards in CAMEO linked to map objects, but with those objects not
"reciprocating" the link, or perhaps no longer existing on the map at all.
8-2
-------
IMPORTANT
If you have established links between CAMEO
cards and objects on a map In MARPLOT, be sure
to save your changes to the map when you close
the map or quit from MARPLOT.
Methods for repairing inconsistent links are explained later in this
chapter. However, you will save yourself time and trouble, and avoid
risking the loss of valuable information by remembering to save CAMEO
related changes to your MARPLOT maps. Be sure to read the section
below, "Keeping Your Map Links Up-to-Date," for more information on
this topic.
Introduction to links
Once you have obtained or created a map for use with MARPLOT and
CAMEO, you can place objects on the map and link them to CAMEO
cards. Two types of map objects are most commonly linked to CAMEO
cards: (1) symbol objects that mark the locations of facilities (such as
chemical processing plants), special population centers (such as schools
or hospitals), and accidental releases; and (2) open polygon objects that
represent routes (such as roads, rivers, or railroads) used to transport
hazardous chemicals. In some cases, you may also wish to use closed
polygon objects to represent very large facilities. (See your MARPLOT
manual to learn more about symbol and polygon objects.) By creating
map objects and linking them to cards in CAMEO stacks, you can
develop a powerful system for quickly accessing and cross-referencing
information.
A link between an object on a MARPLOT map and a CAMEO card can be
thought of this way:
... Map Link:|a map
Object on a map
CAMEO card linked to map
8-3
-------
A link is a two-way connection between a particular map object and a
particular CAMEO card. Once a card is linked to an object, you can use
the link to quickly move back and forth between MARPLOT and
CAMEO. In particular, if you are working with a card that is linked to a
map object, you can choose Show on Map from the CAMEO menu to
jump to the object on the map. If you are working with a map, you can
select an object that is linked to a CAMEO card, then choose Get Info
from the CAMEO submenu of the Sharing menu to jump to the CAMEO
card linked to the object.
You can tell whether a CAMEO card is linked to a map object by looking
in its MAP LINK field. If this field contains the name of a map, the card is
linked to an object on that map. (You'll notice that six CAMEO stacks
don't contain MAP LINK fields; cards in these stacks can't be linked to
map objects.)
When you create a link between a card an dobject, the object is given the
name of the card (you can change this name later, if you wish). For
example, a facility symbol on a map would be named "Central City Water
Treatment" when linked to a Facility Information card for a facility with
that name.
NOTE Only the first 30 character* of a name are
included in an object name; if the name on a
CAMEO card 10 more than 30 characters long.
the name will be truncated.

When an object's name is the same as a facility, route, or other entity that

object is linked to a CAMEO card, you'll see the name of the appropriate
CAMEO stack in the Document field of the Link Info window. In the

Types of CAMEO stacks
In terms of linking to MARPLOT objects, there are five types of CAMEO
stacks.
(I) Cards in three stacks can be linked directly to MARPLOT objects.
These stacks are: Facility Information, Special Populations, and
Transportation.
(2) Cards in two stacks either can be linked to MARPLOT objects, or
they can take advantage of links in other stacks via their ID field
(as explained in the next section). These stacks are Contacts and
Incident Report.
(3) Cards in the Scenarios stack can be linked only to special objects
created on MARPLOT maps by CAMEO to represent threat zones.
(The special procedure for creating and using Scenarios links is
described in a separate section below.)
8-6
-------
(4) Cards in three stacks cannot be linked to MARPLOT maps, but
can nonetheless take advantage of links in other stacks via their ID
field (as explained in the next section). These stacks are: Building
Plans, Chemical Inventory, and Toxic Release Annual Reports.
(5) Cards in three stacks cannot be linked to MARPLOT. These stacks
are Codebreaker, Historical Weather, and RIDS.

Using links directly and via ID numbers
If you are in any of the six stacks whose cards can be linked to MARPLOT
objects (categories (1), (2), and (3) above), and if the MAP LINK field of
the current card contains the name of a map (indicating that the card is
indeed linked to a map object), you can use Show on Map to jump to the
linked object on the map. When you choose Show on Map from the
CAMEO menu of a linked CAMEO card, you'll be taken to the
MARPLOT map. The object to which the card is linked will be selected so
that you can distinguish it from other objects on the map. While the
object is selected, or if you re-select it later, you can choose Get Info from
MARPLOT'S Sharing menu to return to the linked card.
8-7
-------
The Show On Map menu item is also available in the CAMEO menu of
some of the stacks whose cards cannot be linked to map objects. For
instance, the cards in category (4) above cannot be linked to map objects,
but nonetheless can take advantage of map links via their ID number
field. While these cards are not directly represented by map objects, they
are associated in CAMEO with cards that are.
The means of association is the ID number field that is found on cards in
most CAMEO stacks. For instance, cards in the Chemical Inventory stack
contain an ID number field. This field holds the ID number of the facility
described on the Chemical Inventory card. This same facility, under the
same ID number, should also be described on a Facility Information card,
in category (1), which can be linked to map objects.
When you choose Show on Map from a card in category (4), CAMEO
looks at the ID field to find the Facility Information, Special Population or
Transportation card with which the current card is associated. Once this
card is found, if it is linked to a map object, that object will be displayed
on the map. So while the cards in category (4) cannot be linked directly to
map objects, you can think of them as "borrowing" the links of other
cards with which they are associated via ID numbers. We can picture this
by adding to the diagram above:
v\/\.
Object on a map
CAMEO cand
linked to map
Cands that can access
map via ID of linked
card
The cards on the far right are not linked to the map, but nonetheless can
take advantage of the link between the map and the card with which they
are associated by ID number.
8-8
-------
The ability to access the map via ID numbers is a very powerful
mechanism. Establishing a single link from one card to a map object
automatically gives you map access from other cards with matching IDs.
The stacks in category (2) above are similar to those in category (1) in that
they can be linked to MARPLOT objects. However, like cards in category
(4), they also can remain unlinked, but still access links in other cards via
an ID number. This means that when you are considering linking a
Contacts or Incident Report card to a map object, you need to decide
whether to link the card or simply take advantage of a link that already
exists elsewhere.
When you link a Contacts or Incident Report card to a map object, the
name of the map to which it is linked appears in the MAP LINK field,
while the ID number of a card with which it is associated, such as a
facility or hospital card, appears in the ID number field. When you
choose Show on Map, the link overrides the ID number. You will be
brought to the map object that is linked to the Contacts or Incident Report
card, rather than to the object that is linked to the card associated with the
Contacts or Incident Report card.

To link or not to link
You can link cards in six CAMEO stacks to map objects. But you won't
always wish to do so. Consider the uses that you will make of your map
and CAMEO as you choose whether or not to link cards to map objects.
Unless you know that it will be useful to you to see a map object
representing a CAMEO card, don't create a link. If you are a planner or
researcher, for example, you may rarely need to identify the contact
people associated with a facility on a map. You may find that the
advantage of keeping your map uncluttered outweighs the advantage of
linking your Contacts cards to a map. If you are a first responder,
though, you may wish to be able to dick on map symbols representing
emergency contacts at facilities or population centers downwind of the
site of an accidental chemical release, in order to quickly access the
telephone numbers of these people on CAMEO cards.
When you consider linking a Contacts or Incident Report card to a map
object, you'll need to consider an additional question: should you link the
card to a map object or simply take advantage of a link that already
exists?
8-10
-------
Before you decide to link a Contacts or Incident Report card to a map
object, check whether there is already a link between another card and a
map object that you can access via that card's ID number. For instance,
imagine that you have a Contacts card for Dr. Smith. She works at St.
Mary's Hospital, and you already have a map object representing St.
Mary's Hospital. Further, you have already linked a Special Populations
card for St. Mary's Hospital to the map object, and you have entered the
ID number of this card into the ID number field on Dr. Smith's Contacts
card. Without ever having linked Dr. Smith's card to the map, you can go
to her card and select Show on Map. CAMEO will look in the ID number
field, and will find that Dr. Smith is associated with St. Mary's Hospital in
Special Populations. Since St. Mary's Hospital is linked to a map object,
that object will be displayed for you. In this case, there may be no need to
link Dr. Smith's Contacts card directly to a map object.
So when would you want to link a card in either the Contacts or Incident
Report stack to a map? You might choose to do so for either of two
reasons:
I There may not already be an object on the map that you can access
via an ID number as we did with Dr. Smith above. Perhaps Dr.
Smith is not associated with a hospital or other object that we have
already linked to CAMEO; she may work out of a private office.
In this case, if it is important for you to be able to locate Dr.
Smith's office on a map, you'll need to create a separate object to
represent her office, and link her Contacts card to that object.
Similarly, you may create a card in the Incident Report stack to describe
an incident along a certain transportation route. Perhaps the route, which
is represented by an open polygon object on the map, is already linked to
a Transportation card. You may wish, though, to see the specific location
of the incident on the map when you choose Show on Map from the
Incident Report card, rather than the entire route. In this case, place a
new MARPLOT symbol object at the incident's location on the map, then
link the Incident Report card to that object. Once you've created this link,
8-11
-------
Show on Map will take you to the incident location, rather than the entire
route.
2 It might be important for you to be able to jump directly from a
map to a Contacts or Incident Report card. For instance, if you do
not link Dr. Smith's card to a map object but instead take
advantage of the ID number connection between Dr. Smith's
Contacts card and the hospital card, you will have no problem
choosing Show on Map from Dr. Smith's card to view the hospital
on the map. But if you select the hospital's symbol on the map,
then choose Get Info from MARPLOT'S Sharing menu, you will
be brought not to Dr. Smith's card, but to the hospital card, since
that is the card to which the hospital object is linked. If it is
important to you to be able to select an object on the map and be
brought directly to Dr. Smith's card, you will need to link Dr.
Smith's card to its own object on the map.
How to establish links
You'll need to run CAMEO and MARPLOT simultaneously in order to
establish map links. You must be running under either System 6 (version
6.0.5 or later) with MultiFinder, or System 7 when you do this. You can
confirm that the programs are communicating correctly with each other
by choosing Go to CAMEO from the CAMEO submenu of MARPLOT'S
Sharing menu (mis should transfer you from MARPLOT to CAMEO) or
by clicking the MARPLOT icon in CAMEO's Navigator (this should take
you from CAMEO to MARPLOT). If you see a problem, check that
MARPLOT is located within "MARPLOT Folder" within me
"CAMEO™" folder, and check that there is enough free memory
available to run both programs at once.
Follow the instructions below to link CAMEO cards in any of the linkable
stacks in category (1) or category (2). Linking Scenarios cards, which are
in category (3), requires a different procedure, explained in a separate
section below.
8-12
-------
Create the CAMEO card that you wish to link, if you haven't done
so. Be sure that this card is in one of the linkable stacks.
Go to MARPLOT. If you will be linking an object that is already
on the map, choose Object Settings... from MARPLOT'S
Overlays menu, then click Link Info... to make sure that the object
is not already linked (you can link only one CAMEO card to a
map object).
RpplltatlMt:
Document:
Data: 0
Objact ID: N6CKOOFR0060406
Empty "Application" and "Document" fields in the Link Information
box indicate that the object has not yet been linked.
If the object to which you want to link the card does not yet exist,
you'll need to enter MARPLOT'S edit mode, choose a tool, and
create the object in an appropriate location and overlay (see your
MARPLOT manual to learn more about editing maps and placing
objects). Create either a symbol object to represent a facility,
special population location, or similar entity, or an open polygon
object to represent a transportation route. To create an open
polygon, double-click on the polygon tool in the MARPLOT tool
palette to make sure it is set to create open polygons. Trace the
route by clicking the polygon tool on each vertex (that is, on each
place where the route bends), double-clicking on the final vertex.
8-13
-------
Creating an open polygon object to represent a transportation route.
Select the MARPLOT object by clicking it with the arrow tool. It
should be the only object selected in MARPLOT.
Choose Link Object from the CAMEO submenu in MARPLOT'S
Sharing menu.
You will be transferred to CAMEO. A small floating window,
displaying Link and Cancel buttons, will appear. If the top card
is not the one you wish to link to the object, navigate through
CAMEO to find the correct card. When you find the card, click
the Link button in the floating window.
Select record for link:
L

Cancel
If something, such as a pre-existing link between the card and
object, prevents creation of a link, CAMEO and MARPLOT will
alert you. Otherwise, a link will be established between the card
and the object. The name of the map will appear in the MAP
LINK field of the CAMEO card. The name of the stack will be put
into the map object's link information. The object will be given the
name of the facility, transportation route, organization, or other
entity described on the CAMEO card.

When a map object ts linked to a CAMEO card, its Link Information will
show HyperCard as the linked application and one of the CAMEO stacks
(in this case Transportation) as the linked document.
Once you have created the fink, you can choose either Show on
Map or Get Info to move between the card and object, as
described above. If this is a Facility Information, Special
Populations, or Transportation card you can create cards in other
stacks containing the ID number of the linked card, so that the
map link can be accessed from these cards (that is, you can then
choose Show on Map from one of these cards to be taken to the
linked map object).
Because you have made changes to the link information stored in
both CAMEO and in the MARPLOT map, choose Save from
MARPLOT'S File menu to avoid creating an inconsistent link.
Deleting a map link
You may link a card to a map object and later want to delete, or "break,"
the link. For instance, you might link a card to the wrong object. Or you
might want to remove an object from your map altogether. In either case,
you must delete the existing link before relinking the card or deleting the
object.
There are two ways to delete a link between a card in a CAMEO stack
and an object on a map. In CAMEO, you can go to the linked card, then
choose Unlink Current Card from the CAMEO menu. In MARPLOT,
8-15
-------
you can select the linked object, then choose Unlink from the Sharing
menu. In both cases, all information about the link will be removed from
both CAMEO and MARPLOT. If the card whose link you deleted has an
ID number, you will no longer be able to access this link from other cards
with matching ID numbers.
When you delete links, be sure to save your changes in MARPLOT.
Otherwise, you'll risk creating inconsistent links. Special considerations
are involved when you need to delete or repair an inconsistent link.
These are discussed below, in the "Keeping your map links up-to-date"
section.
To delete a card that is linked to an object on a map, you need not use
Unlink Current Card to unlink the card before deleting it. When you
delete the card by choosing Delete Card from the Edit menu in CAMEO,
CAMEO will automatically delete the link between the card and map
object.
Linking Scenarios cards to a threat zone in MARPLOT
The procedure for linking Scenarios cards to MARPLOT maps differs
from the way in which you link cards in any other stack to map objects.
This is because, once you have completed a scenario or screening and
plotted a threat zone on a map, a Scenarios card is not linked to a facility
or transportation route object, or to a symbol representing a release point
on the map, but rather to the object(s) that CAMEO places in MARPLOT
to represent the threat zone around a facility or along a transportation
route. A link between a Scenarios card and the threat zone plotted from it
onto a map supersedes any pre-existing link between the card and map.
8-16
-------
Follow three steps to plot a threat zone about a facility, other release
point, or transportation route:
I Associate a Scenarios card with a map object so that CAMEO can
plot a threat zone around that map object. You can choose to
associate a Scenarios card with an already-linked Facility
Information or Transportation card via a facility or route ID
number, or you can create a new map object to mark a release
location, then link the Scenarios card to it.
In any case, each Scenarios card should display the ID number of the
facility or transportation route for which you are plotting a threat zone.
When you choose New Scenario from a Facility Information or
Transportation card, the ID number and other information describing the
facility or route is copied onto a new Scenarios card. If this facility or
route is already linked to a map object, the Scenarios card will be
associated with that object as well, via the matching ID number (and if
you choose Show on Map from a Scenarios card before plotting a threat
zone, you should be taken to the map object representing the facility or
route).
You can choose to associate a Scenarios card with an entire transportation
route, and you will wish to do so if you are making screening
calculations, since you cannot predict the exact location of a release in
advance. That is, you will wish to make the assumption, for screening
purposes, that a release could occur anywhere along the route. You may
sometimes wish, though, to associate a Scenarios card with a specific
location along a route rather than with the entire route. You might do
this, for example, in order to assess the risk of an accidental release at a
particularly busy intersection. In such a case, or in any case when you
wish to associate a Scenarios card with a point on the map other than a
facility symbol, place a new map symbol at the release point, then link the
Scenarios card directly to it, just as you would link a Facility Information
card to a facility symbol.
8-17
-------
A separate symbol can be placed along the transportation route to
represent the site of a relsase. This object can then be linked to a
Scenarios card, in preparation for plotting a threat zone about the
release site object.
If you choose Show on Map from such a card before you have plotted a
threat zone, or after you have deleted a threat zone from a map, you will
be taken to this symbol on the map, rather than to the object representing
the facility or route described on the card. In this sense, a link between a
Scenarios card and map object is similar to a link between a card in the
Contacts or Incident Report stacks and a map object However, a map-to-
Scenarios link is temporary in a way that links to other stacks are not. A
link between a map object and a Scenarios card always will be overridden
by the link between the card and a threat zone as soon as one has been
plotted. And although the link between the object and card always
remains "underneath" (unless you delete it using the procedure
described above), and is manifested again as soon as you delete a zone
from a map, it can always be overridden again, once you plot a threat
zone from the card.
8-18
-------
This Scenarios card is linked to a release site object on the map "Prince
William County" and is also associated with the Transportation card
with ID number 100T. The link to the release site object along the
transportation route overrides the fink to the entire route via the
Transportation card. The threat zone for this scenario has not yet been
plotted, as Indicated by the fact that the mapping button shows a
magnifying glass. As soon as the threat zone is plotted, the Scenarios
card becomes linked to the zone, and this link overrides the link to the
release site object.
Make either scenario or screening calculations for the facility or
route (refer to the "Scenarios" chapter to learn how to do this).
Choose a chemical, enter weather conditions, amount released,
and other necessary assumptions, then click on the calculator
button to obtain a radius.
Click on the mapping button, which has a magnifying glass icon
and is located just to the right of the radius estimate on the
Scenarios card. MARPLOT will come forward, and the threat
zone will be plotted on the map around the object with which you
have associated or linked the Scenarios card. Be patient; plotting
the threat zone may take a few moments. CAMEO will place a
shaded circle object, representing the threat zone and with the
radius shown on the Scenarios card, around a facility object or
symbol marking a release point. If you entered a wind direction,
CAMEO will also place a polygon object inside the circle to
8-19
-------
represent the plume. To represent a threat zone around an open
polygon object tracing a transportation route, CAMEO will place a
sequence of shaded objects along the route, creating a corridor
twice as wide at every point along the route as the calculated
radius.
When you click the magnifying glass button, CAMEO plots a threat zone
about the release site object to which the Scenarios card was linked.
The Scenarios card is now considered to be linked to the circle and plume
objects representing the threat zone. These object are placed on a new
MARPLOT overlay called "SCENARIO."
When a threat zone is plotted on a map, CAMEO links the Scenarios card
to the map object(s) that make up the zone. CAMEO treats the collection
of threat zone objects as a single object for linking purposes.
The objects making up the threat zone will be placed on a newly created
overlay on the MARPLOT map called "SCENARIO". This overlay is
locked to ensure that threat zones cannot be moved around on a map.
(Refer to your MARPLOT manual to learn about locked overlays.) If you
do not wish to keep the threat zone on the map once you have finished
viewing it, choose Delete Scenario Object from the CAMEO menu in
CAMEO, then choose Save from MARPLOT'S File menu (since you have
made changes to the map). If you wish to keep the threat zone on the
map, simply choose Save from MARPLOT'S File menu (since you have
made link changes to the map).
Once a threat zone has been plotted, the picture on the card's mapping
button changes from a magnifying glass to a miniature chemical plume.
This helps you to easily identify those Scenario cards from which you
8-20
-------
have plotted threat zones. If you delete the zone from the map, the
button picture will change back to a magnifying glass.
Operations on threat zones
Once a threat zone is plotted, you can perform the following four
operations:
I Select Show on Map from the CAMEO menu of the Scenarios
card to go to MARPLOT (don't click the mapping button, or you
will have to wait while CAMEO re-calculates and re-displays the
threat zone). The objects making up the threat zone will be
selected so that you can distinguish it from other zones that you
may already have plotted on the map.
2 From MARPLOT, you can dick on any one of the objects making
up a threat zone (when there's more than one), then choose Get
Info from the Sharing menu to go to the Scenarios card for that
zone.
3 If you change any of the inputs on the Scenarios card - such as
wind speed, stability class, or quantity released - CAMEO will
dear the radius field and will automatically delete the threat zone
from the map, since the radius calculation is no longer valid (this
operation may take a few moments). The mapping button will
change back to a magnifying glass to indicate that the threat zone
no longer exists. To plot a new threat zone, just complete your
modifications to the scenario or screening inputs, dick the
calculator button to calculate a new radius, and click the mapping
button again. MARPLOT will again come forward, and the new
zone will be plotted.
NOTE Keep in mind as you delete and re-plot threat
zones that you are making Unk changes to the
map. Be sure to save those changes.
8-21
-------
4 Choose Delete Scenario Object from the CAMEO menu to delete
the zone that was; plotted from the current card. Choose Delete
All Scenario Objects to delete all threat zones from all Scenarios
cards. Use this menu item with caution since it potentially erases
many threat zones, even those on maps other than the one which
is currently open
NOTE Under normal circumstances you need not use
Unlink or Unlink Current Card to delete the links
between Scenarios cards and scenario objects
(that is, threat zones) on the map. The two
specialized menu Items in the Scenarios CAMEO
menu, Delete Scenarios Object and Delete All
Scenario Objects, take care of all necessary
unlinking.
Getting information about objects within a threat zon*
Once you have plotted a threat zone in MARPLOT, you can take
advantage of the other map links you have set up, and MARPLOT'S
ability to select objects that are inside other objects, to quickly identify the
populations that could be affected by an accidental release. Follow these
steps to do so:
I Plot a threat zone on a map from a Scenarios card, following the
steps outlined above.
2 Select the MARPLOT objects that make up the threat zone. The
easiest way to do this is to go to the Scenarios card from which the
zone was created and choose Show on Map from the CAMEO
menu. This will select the component objects of the zone in
MARPLOT. As a short cut when the threat zone is just a single
circle object surrounding a single symbol object, you can simply
dick on that circle in MARPLOT with the arrow tool to select it.
3 Once the zone objects have been selected, choose Select Inside
Object(s) from MARPLOT'S Overlays menu to select all the
objects within the threat zone.
8-22
-------
When some or all of the selected objects have been previously
linked to CAMEO cards in stacks such as Special Populations and
Contacts, you can go quickly to these cards to view descriptions of
the populations at risk, telephone numbers of emergency contacts,
or other information. Do this by choosing Get Info from the
CAMEO submenu in MARPLOT'S Sharing menu. If the selected
objects are linked to only one CAMEO stack, you will be taken to
that stack. The cards linked to the selected objects will be placed
in the search collection, just as though you had made a search for
all cards in the stack linked to objects selected on the map. Use
the arrow keys on your keyboard, the arrow buttons on the top
right comer of each CAMEO card, or the Go menus items Next
and Prev to scroll through the collected cards.
After selecting the threat zone objects) and using Select Inelde
Objeet(0), any map objects within the threat zone become selected. You
can then use Get Info to get CAMEO information about these objects.
If the selected objects inside the threat zone are linked to more than one
CAMEO stack, you'll be asked to select one of the linked stacks from a
list. You'll be taken to the stack that you choose, and you'll see that all
cards in that stack linked to selected objects will have been compiled into
the search collection, as above. Once you've finished viewing the linked
cards in one stack, choose Get Info on Selected MARPLOT Objects from
8-23
-------
the CAMEO menu if you wish to choose another of the stacks containing
cards linked to the selected objects.
You can also use the Search menu items View Collection, Print
Collection, and Reports... to view or print information from the collected
cards. For example, if the selected symbols represent the locations of
special populations, choose View Collection from the Search menu of
any of these Special Populations cards to view a list of all the special
populations located within the threat zone. (Refer to the "Searching"
chapter to learn more about using these Search menu items.) Choose
Clear Search when you have finished viewing the cards in order to access
other cards in the stack.
Keeping your map links up-to-date
It is important to be sure that the links between objects on a map and
CAMEO cards remain consistent. Map links can become inconsistent in
at least three ways:
I You create links between objects on a map and cards in CAMEO,
and don't save the changes to your map in MARPLOT. CAMEO,
because it is a HyperCard application, automatically saves all
changes that you make, so it "remembers'' your map links even
though MARPLOT does not. The two applications then become
"out-of-synch."
2 You import map objects onto your map from someone else's map,
using MARPLOT'S Import... menu item. If these objects had been
linked to CAMEO cards while on the other map, they will still
"think" that they are linked to the same CAMEO cards once you
place them on your map.
3 You import someone else's CAMEO cards into one of your
CAMEO stacks, using CAMEO's Import/Export menu item. If
these cards were linked to objects on another map, CAMEO will
"think" that the cards are still linked to those objects.
8-24
-------
If you've done any of these three things, or if you have another reason to
think that links between your CAMEO cards and map objects have
become invalid, you'll need to perform the housekeeping procedures
described below.
Detecting inconsistent links
Often, you will not know about an inconsistent link until you try to use it.
For instance, when you choose Show on Map from an incorrectly linked
CAMEO card, CAMEO will give you an error message when it cannot
find the map or object that supposedly is linked to the card. Similarly, if
you choose Get Info from MARPLOT and the selected object is linked
incorrectly, you will get an error message indicating that the card
expected to be linked to the object cannot be found.
When you suspect a problem, you can investigate it more carefully by
examining the link information stored in CAMEO and MARPLOT.
CAMEO displays in the MAP LINK field of a card the name of the map to
which the card is linked, if it is linked. Thus, when "Seattle map" is
displayed in the MAP LINK field on the card, CAMEO thinks the card is
linked to a MARPLOT map named "Seattle map". However, keep in
mind that if, for example, you have exported cards from one to another of
two CAMEO installations, each of which uses a map with this name, a
card could still be inconsistently linked even when the name seems valid.
MARPLOT keeps information about linked map objects "inside" the
linked objects themselves. You can view this information by selecting an
object, choosing Object Settings... from MARPLOT'S Overlays menu,
then clicking on the Link Info... button. You will be able to see if the
object is linked, and if so, if it seems to be linked to the correct CAMEO
stack. Remember not to use the Set App. and Set Doc buttons in this
dialog box to modify link information.
8-25
-------
Fixing inconsistent map link* by hand
You can use the Update Map Links function, described in the next sub-
section, to automatically repair .all of the inconsistent links in an entire
stack or map. However, Update Map Links always attempts to update
the links of an entire map or an entire stack. It can be time-consuming if
you have many links between cards and objects. As an alternative, when
you suspect that there are relatively few inconsistent links between
stack(s) and map(s), you can choose to fix them individually rather than
use Update Map Links. In addition, when you fix inconsistent links
yourself, you retain complete control over the update, and can be sure
that no changes will be made without your knowledge and involvement.
Update a link individually using either the Unlink or Unlink Current
Card menu item to delete the old, inconsistent links and establish new,
correct links, as follows:
If a map object it finked to a non-existent card...
I Click on the object with MARPLOT'S arrow tool to select it.
2 Choose Unlink from MARPLOT'S Sharing menu (CAMEO will
allow you to unlink the object even though the card that it's linked
to is missing).
3 While the object is still selected, choose Link Object from the
CAMEO Sharing submenu in MARPLOT to link it to the correct
card (just find the card in CAMEO that you'd like to link to the
object, then dick Link in the small floating window).
If a CAMEO card it linked to on object that no longer exists on a map...
I Choose Unlink Current Card from the CAMEO menu of that card
to break the old link (ignore MARPLOT'S message that the object
is missing—you already know that).
2 Create a new object in MARPLOT.
3 Link it to the card by choosing Link Object
8-26
-------
Using Update Map Links
When you have inconsistent links between CAMEO and MARPLOT, and
it would be too difficult to fix them all individually as described above,
use Update Map Links to fix all of the inconsistent links in an entire map
or stack. The Update Map Links item appears in two menus: the
CAMEO menu in linkable CAMEO stacks and the CAMEO submenu in
MARPLOT'S Sharing menu.
WARNING The Update Map Links process can be slow.
especially when you have established many links
between stack(s) and map(s). Do not attempt
to interrupt an update. Doing so can further
damage links.
I Choose Update Map Links in CAMEO to fix all of the inconsistent
links in the current CAMEO stack (CAMEO will examine all maps
to which cards in that stack are linked as it performs the update).
2 Choose Update Map Links in MARPLOT'S Sharing menu to fix
all of the inconsistent links in the current map (all CAMEO stacks
to which objects on the map are linked will be examined for
inconsistent links).
Whether you choose Update Map Links from CAMEO or from
MARPLOT'S Sharing menu, there are three types of invalid links that this
menu item can repair
I An object on a map is linked to a card in CAMEO that no longer
exists. In this case, Update Map Links clears the erroneous link
information that is stored in the MARPLOT object.
2 A card in CAMEO is linked to a map object that no longer exists
on the map. In this case Update Map Links clears the erroneous
map link information from CAMEO.
8-27
-------
3 A card in CAMEO is linked to a map object that exists on the map,
but that does not correctly "reciprocate" the link back to CAMEO.
(This can happen if you import new cards into CAMEO and also
import corresponding objects onto a map.) In this case, Update
Map Links corrects the erroneous link information that is stored
in the MARPLOT object, linking it correctly to the card.
Update Map Links will not make changes to valid map links (that is,
cards linked to objects that are correctly linked back to those cards).

Appendix A
Tips and Troubleshooting
As you work with CAMEO, you may encounter situations that confuse
you, and leave you unsure of what to do next. We hope you won't. Just
in case, in this appendix we address some of these potential trouble spots,
and explain how to avoid or resolve them.
Q I'm trying to run a scenario for a chemical that's stored at less than
100% concentration. Is there a way I can indicate this to
Scenarios? I don't see a data field for storage concentration on my
Scenarios cards.
A You can choose either of two ways to do this. First, you can
simply multiply the storage concentration of your chemical by the
amount that you estimate to have been released (in either pounds
or kilograms). Divide this product by 100 and enter the result in
the QUANTITY RELEASED field. For example, if your chemical
is stored at 50% concentration, and 200 pounds is the amount
released, your quantity released is equal to 50 times 200, divided
by 100, which comes out to 100 pounds.
Second, you can prepare a Chemical Inventory card for your
chemical. Enter a value for storage concentration in the
CONCENTRATION field (your value must be in units of percent
by weight) and a value for maximum quantity in one vessel, in
units of either pounds or kilograms. These values will be
multiplied together automatically when you choose New
Scenario from the CAMEO menu. You'll see the product in the
QUANTITY RELEASED field of the new Scenarios card.

Whenever I create a link between a map object and a CAMEO
card, once I've chosen a card to link to the object, and clicked the
Link button to create the link, I'm taken back to the map.
Sometimes I'd rather remain in CAMEO. Is there a way to do
this?
Yes. Just hold down the option key as you dick on the Link
button. The link will be created, just as before, but you'll remain
on the CAMEO card that you just linked.
I can't get back to the first card in my Codebreaker stack. I've
tried choosing First from the Go menu, clicking on the arrows on
the upper right comer of my Codebreaker cards, and pressing the
arrow keys on my keyboard—nothing works. I can't get to the
last card in this stack, either. What's wrong?
Did you run a search in this stack (by choosing New Search from
the Search menu)? If you see numbers between the arrows on the
upper right comer of your Codebreaker cards, you can tell that
CAMEO has collected all the cards found in your search, so that
you can browse through them. To browse through all of the
cards in a stack after a search, choose Clear Search from the
Search menu. You now should be able to use any of the methods
you described to go to the first card.
Sometimes, when I'm working with both CAMEO and MARPLOT
together, I hear a beep. I don't see any alert message, though.
Then I'm not sure what I should do, or even if there was a
problem at all. Am I imagining all this, or not?
Having two applications communicate together to complete tasks
is a new situation for Macintosh users. When you're working
with both CAMEO and MARPLOT, at any given time, one of
them has to be in the foreground (the one you're working with at
9-2
-------
just that moment) while the other is in the background. If
something happens that causes a problem for the application in
the background, your computer will beep. When you hear a beep,
bring the background application forward. (Do this either by
clicking on any window of that application that may be visible on
your screen, or by clicking on the MultiFinder icon on the right
side of your menu bar, then choosing the application's name from
the popup list of open applications.) This application will usually
have an alert message to show you, but it can only show you
messages when it's in the foreground.
1 typed in some values on a Scenarios card, then realized that I
wanted to run screening instead of scenarios calculations. When I
all of my inputs were cleared from the card. How can I get them
back?
You can't get your values back. That's because, if you run
screening calculations, a specific set of weather and release
conditions must be used as input values (check the "Scenarios"
chapter to learn what these are). Also, the Level of Concern value
for this chemical stored on its Codebreaker card will replace any
new value that you have typed in. CAMEO will replace the
values that you typed in with these values. The best solution to
your problem is to be sure to toggle the label to the setting that
you wish to use before you enter any input values onto a Scenarios
card. Also, remember that you can always choose New Scenario
from the CAMEO menu of a Scenarios card in order to create a
new card for the same chemical. You can then run a new
scenarios or screening calculation on the new card without
affecting the values displayed on the original card.

I have been running CAMEO and MARPLOT in System 6. I had
been working with both programs for a while when my system
crashed. Now, whenever I try to restart the programs, sometimes
my system crashes again, and sometimes I experience a variety of
problems I hadn't had before. What can I do to solve this?
When CAMEO and MARPLOT run together under System 6, the
two programs pass information back and forth as temporary
"sharing files." To avoid problems after a crash under System 6,
delete any sharing files remaining on your computer before you
try to re-run either of the programs. You'll find these sharing files
in your System folder. They have names like "MARPLOT->
CAMEO" or "CAMEO->MARPLOT." Throw all of these files into
the trash before restarting either MARPLOT or CAMEO. This
should solve your problem. If you're running under System 7,
you will never have this problem.
I got a Historical Weather stack for my state, and copied it into my
CAMEO folder. Now I want to use the information in the stack in
my hazard analyses. But when I dick on the weathervane icon on
my Scenarios cards as the manual describes, CAMEO tells me that
"the selected file was not found." What's going on?
When you received the diskette containing your new Historical
Weather stack, you should also have gotten a file called "Weather
Tables." Check on the diskette to be sure that it's there. Then,
once you've found it, copy it into the Reports folder inside your
CAMEO folder. CAMEO needs this file in order to access
information from any Historical Weather stack.
1 calculated a value for Liquid Factor Ambient (LFA) that I think is
better than the one I entered earlier. 1 want to get back into the
"Hazard Analysis" data fields in Codebreaker to replace my old
value. How do I do that?
9-4
-------
Go to the Codebreaker card for this chemical. Click once on the
»Synonyms» label to toggle it to » Regulatory
Informations. Now—here's the trick—hold down the option
key while you click once more on the label to toggle it to
»Hazards Analysis». You should see your original LFA value
in the data field for LIQUID FACTOR AMBIENT. Just replace it
with your new value.
While I'm working with CAMEO, every once in a while,
MARPLOT opens and comes forward, then goes away again.
What's the deal?
Sometimes, MARPLOT needs to open and come forward in order
to perform "housekeeping" tasks. For example, if you change any
inputs on a Scenarios card, and if you previously had plotted a
threat zone on a map from that card, MARPLOT will need to
remove the threat zone from the map, since it's no longer current.
Both MARPLOT and the map need to be open in order to do this.
I ran a scenario in CAMEO when I was performing a hazards
analysis for my community. I ran the same scenario in ALOHA,
but I didn't get the same answer. Am I doing something wrong?
The Scenarios stack makes the simplified threat zone calculations
described in a standard guidebook called Technical Guidance for
Hazards Analysis (see this manual's bibliography). The methods
that it uses are meant to be a "quick-and-dirty" way for you to
assess and rank relative risks to your community from locally-
stored chemicals. ALOHA is a much more sophisticated model.
It calculates and plots a threat zone (called an ALOHA
"footprint") by taking into account many factors—such as many
properties of the chemical, weather conditions such as relative
humidity, air temperature, and cloud cover, and the specific
characteristics of the release source - that are not included in
9-5
-------
Scenarios calculations. ALOHA calculations are more complex,
and often may more accurately predict the effects of a release. But
remember that the results that you obtain from both Scenarios and
ALOHA are only approximate predictions, never exact answers.
You should always use your own judgment and knowledge when
you evaluate the answers given by either Scenarios or ALOHA.
I replaced one of my CAMEO stacks with a new copy. The old
version contained some cards that I had linked to objects on a
MARPLOT map. I chose Update Map Links from the CAMEO
menu of the stack to delete the old link information. I got an error
message saying, "Not enough memory to complete update.
Allocate more memory to HyperCard." How can 1 do that?
First, you'll need to quit HyperCard, then dick on its icon on your
Desktop to select it Then choose Get Info from the File menu.
You'll see a small window, titled "HyperCard Info." Look in the
lower right corner of this window to see the current memory size
(in kilobytes) allocated to HyperCard. Type a larger value into the
"Current Size" box, then click OK. Once you restart HyperCard,
your Macintosh will allocate this amount of space in memory to
HyperCard (and it will allocate less space to other applications to
make up the difference). If you get the same error message again,
just repeat this procedure to add more memory; you may have to
use trial-and-error to find the necessary memory size.
Also, check to be sure that you're not running too many
applications at once. Your system can only provide HyperCard as
much memory as is available, regardless of how much memory
you have indicated should be allocated to HyperCard.
9-6
-------
I created some links between CAMEO cards and objects that I
placed on a MARPLOT map. I'm sure that I saved all my changes
to the map when I did this. But now when I choose Show on Map
from the CAMEO menu of from my linked cards, in order to go to
the objects on the map, CAMEO tells me, "The map could not be
opened because it could not be found." What happened?
Did you rename your map or map folder, move your map or map
folder, or reorganize your MARPLOT folder? Check to be sure
that all files for each of your MARPLOT maps are in separate
subfolders within a folder called "MARPLOT maps," inside a
folder titled "MARPLOT Folder." Otherwise, CAMEO won't be
able to find your map.
I'm trying to use my Scenarios stack to calculate a threat zone for a
chemical that I know is normally stored as a molten solid. In the
popup SOLID FORM menu, Scenarios only gives me a choice of
"Powder" or "Solution" as the form of this chemical. But I know
that I've been able to run molten solids before. What do I need to
do?
The solution to this problem requires a little time and trouble.
You'll need to provide CAMEO with a "Liquid Factor Molten"
(LFM) value for your chemical. To do this, you'll need to calculate
a value. Check the "Calculating Liquid Factors" section in the
"Scenarios" chapter to learn how to make this calculation. You'll
need values for the chemical's molecular weight, melting point (in
degrees K), and vapor pressure (in mmHg) at its melting point.
Unfortunately, these values can sometimes be difficult to find, and
in the cases of some uncommon chemicals, they may never have
been measured.
Once you've obtained a value for the chemical's LFM, go to the
Codebreaker card for this chemical (Scenarios looks up the values
in Codebreaker that it needs to make its calculations, so you'll
9-7
-------
need to add your new LFM value to the chemical's Codebreaker
card). Click once on the »Synonyms» label to toggle it to
»Regulatory Information». Now hold down the Option key
while you dick once more on the label to toggle it to »Hazards
Analysis». You'll see a data field for LIQUID FACTOR
MOLTEN. Type your value into this field. You can also enter a
Level of Concern value for your chemical into the appropriate
field. Return to your Scenarios card for this chemical once you've
finished. Select (his chemical again by clicking on the magnifying
glass for chemical name, then choosing its name from the chemical
list. You should now be able to select "Molten" from the list of
solid forms of this chemical, and then go on to complete your
threat zone calculations.
Q None of the menu items in the CAMEO submenu of MARPLOT'S
Sharing menu are working! What could be the problem? They
worked before.
A There are several possible reasons for this problem. Remember
that this is a menu that CAMEO places in MARPLOT; the two
programs need to be able to communicate with each other in order
for CAMEO to do this. First, if you're running under System 7,
and if you have many applications open, your Macintosh may not
have enough memory available to allow CAMEO and MARPLOT
to communicate with each other. Try quitting from some of the
other applications.
Second, if you're running under System 6, check to see whether
your front stack in HyperCard is a CAMEO stack. If you have
another, non-CAMEO stack in front of all your CAMEO stacks,
MARPLOT can't communicate with CAMEO.
Third, if you're using a relatively slow Macintosh, such as an SE
or Classic, it's possible that MARPLOT and CAMEO are
communicating, but that it's taking a long time.
9-8
-------
I just returned from a visit to another CAMEO installation. I
noticed that, on their system, Protective Clothing tables in RIDS
look different, both on the screen and on print-outs, than they look
on our system. On our system, I see symbols like £, ™, and j. On
theirs, I see symbols like •, 3, and O. Why do I see this difference?
You just need to install the CAMEO font. Check the "Installing
and Updating" chapter to learn how; the method that you should
use depends on whether you're using System 6 or 7.
I'm not sure whether I'm imagining this, but sometimes it seems
to me mat when I create links between map objects and cards, or
use menu items such as Show on Map, things go pretty quickly.
At other times, the same operations seem to take a lot longer. Is
there an explanation for this?
CAMEO and MARPLOT share information and work together to
create links or complete other tasks more slowly if other
applications are running in the background. The programs will
work together most quickly when they are the only applications
running on your machine.
As I've place symbols on a map to indicate chemical facilities,
special populations, and so on, I've been giving each symbol a
name (once I create each object, I've been choosing Object
Settings... from MARPLOT'S Overlays menu, then typing in a
new name for the object). But sometimes I notice later that the
names of some of these objects have changed. What's happening?
You must have linked these map objects to CAMEO cards. Each
time that you link an object and card, the object is given the same
name as the facility, route, population, contact person or other
entity described on the linked card. If you would like to choose
your own names for objects that you've created, just link the
9-9
-------
objects to cards first, then follow the same procedure that you've
been using to change the object names.
I'm trying to search Codebreaker for a chemical. I know its CAS
number, but not its name. When I search in Codebreaker's CAS
Number field for this CAS number, CAMEO doesn't find the card
for the chemical. But it's an important hazardous chemical; I was
sure it would be in CAMEO. Is there another way to check?
Generally, CAS numbers include hyphens; they're of the form
11-22-3. But, for technical reasons, the hyphens aren't included in
any CAS numbers stored in CAMEO. When you search for a
particular CAS number, be sure not to include the hyphens when
you type it in. CAMEO should then have no problem searching
for it
I've created map symbols for all the chemical facilities that I'm
concerned about in my community, and linked them to cards in
CAMEO. There are a lot of them; I live in a large industrial area.
Is there a quick way to search on a map for a particular facility's
symbol, without having to go to CAMEO to look for the card for
the facility, then choosing Show on Map?
Yes. That's why, whenever you link a map object to a CAMEO
card, the object is given the same name as the facility, route,
population, or whatever is described on the linked card. To find a
facility on a map quickly, just choose Find Object., from the
Overlays menu. You then can choose to search only the overlay
where you've placed your facility symbols, or all overlays at once.
Click on the name of the facility in the scrolling list of names of
objects in the overlay(s) (or just type in the facility name, then
dick Search), then click Show on map. The map will be centered
on that facility symbol, and the symbol will be selected, so that
you can distinguish it from other objects.

Appendix B
Introduction to Title III
Introduction
The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986,
also known as Title III of SARA (the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986), establishes requirements for Federal, state,
and local governments, and for industry for emergency planning and
"community right-to-know" reporting on hazardous and toxic chemicals.
This legislation was preceded by the U. S. Environmental Protection
Agency's (EPA) Chemical Emergency Preparedness and Prevention
Office (CEPPO) and many state and local programs intended to help
communities prepare for potential chemical emergencies. The
community right-to-know provisions of Title III are intended to increase
public knowledge of and access to information about the presence of
hazardous chemicals in their communities and releases of these chemicals
into the environment.
SARA Title III includes four major sections: emergency planning (Section
301-303), emergency release notification (Section 304), community right-
to-know reporting requirements (Sections 311 and 312), and toxic release
inventory requirements (Section 313).
Section 301-303: emergency planning
The emergency planning sections of the law are designed to develop state
and Federal emergency response and preparedness capabilities through
improved coordination and planning, especially within local
communities. Title III, when enacted, required the governor of each state
to designate a State Emergency Response Commission, or SERC. Each
SERC then designated local emergency planning districts and appointed
a Local Emergency Planning Committee, or LEPC, for each district.
SERCs have so far designated about 4,000 districts nationwide. Each
SERC is responsible for supervising and coordinating the activities of
9-11
-------
LEPCs, establishing procedures for receiving and processing public
requests for information collected in order to meet other provisions of
Title HI, and reviewing local emergency plans.
Each LEPC includes, at a minimum, elected state and local officials,
police, fire, civil defense, and public health professionals, environment,
hospital, and transportation officials, as well as representatives of
facilities subject to the reporting requirements, community groups, and
the media. As soon as facilities become subject to the emergency
planning requirements, they must designate representatives to participate
in the Title III planning process.
The LEPC's primary responsibility is to develop a chemical emergency
response plan, and to review it at least annually thereafter. In developing
a response plan, each LEPC evaluates available resources for preparing
for and responding to a potential chemical accident.
Each plan:
o identifies facilities and transportation routes of extremely
hazardous substances;
°& describes on- and off-site emergency response procedures;
c& designates a community emergency response coordinator and
facility coordinator(s) to implement the plan;
^ outlines emergency procedures;
c* describes methods for determining the occurrence of a release and
the possible affected area and population;
c& describes community and industry emergency equipment and
facilities and identifies the people responsible for them;
°* outlines evacuation plans;
9-12
-------
c& describes a training program (including schedules) for emergency
response personnel; and
c* presents methods and schedules for exercising emergency
response plans.
In order to assist the LEPCs in preparing and reviewing plans, the
National Response Team (NRT), composed of fourteen Federal agencies
with emergency response responsibilities, published guidance on
emergency response planning. This guidance, the Hazardous Materials
Emergency Planning Guide (NRT 1987), was published by the NRT in
March 1987 and is available from the Emergency Planning and
Community Right-to-Know Information Hotline, 800-535-0202 (in the
Washington, D. C area, dial 703-920-9877).
Each emergency response plan must initially be reviewed by the SERC
and then must be reviewed at least annually by the LEPC. Regional
Response Teams (RRTs), composed of Federal regional officials and state
government representatives, may also review the plans and provide
assistance to LEPCs upon request. Planning activities of LEPCs and
facilities were to be initially focused on, but not limited to, the 360
extremely hazardous substances (also known as EHS chemicals).
However, plans were to be comprehensive, addressing all hazardous
materials of concern within each community and covering transportation
routes as well as fixed facilities.
Any facility where any of the extremely hazardous substances are present
in quantities equal to or greater than threshold planning quantities
(TPQs) are subject to these emergency planning requirements. In
addition, each state governor or SERC, after a period of public comment,
can designate other facilities to be subject to these requirements. A
facility must notify the appropriate SERC and LEPC that it has become
subject to Title III planning requirements within 60 days after beginning
to keep on site any EHS chemical in quantities equal to or greater than its
TPQ. In addition, the SERC must notify the nearest Regional Office of the
9-13
-------
EPA of all facilities subject to these emergency planning requirements,
including any facilities designated by either the SERC or governor.
Section 304: emergency notification
Facilities must immediately notify any LEPCs and SERCs likely to be
affected if there is a release into the environment of a listed hazardous
substance in an amount exceeding the reportable quantity (RQ) of that
substance. Substances subject to this requirement include both the 360
extremely hazardous substances (which are listed in 40 CFR § 355), or on
a list of 725 hazardous substances subject to the emergency notification
provisions of Section 103(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), and listed in 40
CFR § 302.4. Some chemicals are included on both lists, and the EPA is in
the process of designating all extremely hazardous substances as
CERCLA hazardous substances. Initial notification can be made by
telephone, radio, or in person. Emergency notification requirements for
transportation incidents can be met by dialing the 911 emergency
number, if possible, or otherwise by calling the operator. Releases of
CERCLA hazardous substances must also be reported to the National
Response Center (800-424-8802).
Sections 311 and 312: community right-to-know
requirements
Two community right-to-know requirements are included in Title III.
Section 311 requires each facility that must prepare material safety data
sheets (MSDSs) under Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) regulations to submit either copies of its MSDSs or a list of all on-
site MSDS chemicals to the LEPC, the SERC, and the local fire department
with jurisdiction over the facility.
If the facility owner or operator chooses to submit a list of MSDS
chemicals, that list must include the common or chemical name of each
substance, and must identify the applicable hazard categories into which
each substance falls. These categories are:
-------
C& immediate (acute) health hazard;
<=* delayed (chronic) health hazard;
°^ fire hazard;
°& sudden release of pressure hazard; and
c^ reactive hazard.
If a list is submitted, the facility must submit a copy of the MSDS for any
chemical on the list if requested by the LEPC or SERC.
Also, the EPA has established threshold quantities for hazardous
chemicals. A facility is not required to report hazardous chemicals
existing on site in quantities below the appropriate threshold. The
current Section 311 thresholds are:
c& for extremely hazardous substances: either 500 pounds, or the
TPQ, whichever is lower; and
c^ for all other hazardous chemicals: 10,000 pounds.
OSHA regulations require all facility owner/operators to maintain or
prepare MSDSs for on-site hazardous chemicals, and therefore all existing
facilities with hazardous chemicals on site should by now have submitted
either lists or MSDSs. Under Title III, facilities not previously covered by
the OSHA regulations must submit either MSDSs or a list of MSDS
chemicals within three months after becoming covered. That is,
whenever a facility becomes subject to the right-to-know requirements, it
must submit either MSDSs or a list within 3 months after being required
to prepare or have available MSDSs, under OSHA regulations.
Facilities must submit either an MSDS or revised list once new,
previously unreported hazardous chemicals begin to exist on site in
quantities at or above the established threshold levels. Whenever
significant new information about a hazardous chemical becomes
available, if MSDSs rather than a list were submitted, an updated MSDS
must be submitted.
9-15
-------
Under Section 312, each subject facility must submit an annual emergency
and hazardous chemical inventory form to the LEPC, the SERC, and the
local fire department with jurisdiction over the facility. Hazardous
chemicals covered by Section 312 are those for which facilities are
required to prepare or have available an MSDS, under OSHA's Hazard
Communication Standard, and that were present at the facility in
quantities equaling or exceeding threshold quantities at any time during
the previous year. These are the same chemicals covered under Section
311.
The EPA has established threshold quantities for hazardous chemicals
covered under Section 312. A facility is not required to report hazardous
chemicals existing on site in quantities below the appropriate threshold.
The current Section 312 thresholds, which are identical to the Section 311
threshold quantities, are:
c^ for extremely hazardous substances: either 500 pounds, or the
TPQ, whichever is lower; and
<=& for all other hazardous chemicals: 10,000 pounds.
The inventory form incorporates a "two-tier" approach. Under Tier I,
facilities must submit the following aggregate information about
chemicals within each applicable hazard category:
<& an estimate (in ranges) of the maximum amount of chemicals in
each category present at the facility at any time during the
preceding calendar year;
c^ an estimate (in ranges) of the average daily amount of hazardous
chemicals in each category present on site during the preceding
calendar year; and
°* the approximate location of hazardous chemicals in each category.
9-16
-------
If requested by an LEPC, SERC, or local fire department, a facility also
must provide the following Tier II information for each requested
substance:
°* the common or chemical name of the substance, as indicated on
the MSDS;
c& an estimate (in ranges) of the maximum amount of the chemical
present at the facility at any time during the preceding calendar
year;
<=& a brief description of the manner in which the chemical is stored;
<=& the location of the chemical at the facility;
<=* an indication of whether the owner/operator elects to withhold
location information from public disclosure.
Since many states impose additional requirements or have incorporated
the Federal reporting provisions on their own forms, Tier I/II forms
should be obtained from SERCs. Tier I information must be submitted by
subject facilities on or before March 1 of each year.
Facilities may choose to submit Tier II rather than Tier I forms, and some
states require that Tier II forms be submitted. Individual citizens may
also request copies of completed Tier II forms from either a SERC or
LEPC. In such a case, if a Tier II form is not available, it must be
requested from the facility. Information submitted by facilities under
Sections 311 and 312 generally must be available for public inspection
during normal working hours. Facilities must provide Section 311 and
312 information whenever requested, regardless of whether on-site
quantities of hazardous chemicals equal or exceed threshold quantities.
9-17
-------
Section 313: toxic chemical release reporting
Section 313 of Title III requires the EPA to establish and maintain an
inventory of toxic chemical emissions from certain facilities. Facilities
subject to this reporting requirement must complete a Toxic Chemical
Release Inventory Form (commonly known as Form R) for specified
chemicals. Toxic Chemical Release Inventory Forms must be submitted
to the EPA and to state officials designated by the governor on or before
July 1 of each year.
These reports should include descriptions of both routine and accidental
releases of hazardous chemicals from subject facilities during the
preceding calendar year, The purpose of this reporting requirement is to
inform the public about routine releases of toxic chemicals to the
environment. The information is also intended for use in research and in
the development of regulations, guidelines, and standards.
The Section 313 reporting requirement applies to owners and operators of
facilities with at least ten full-time employees, that are in Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) codes 20 through 39, and that manufacture,
import, process, or otherwise use at least one listed toxic chemical in
excess of specified threshold quantities.
Facilities that manufacture or process any listed toxic chemical in
quantities exceeding 25,000 pounds must submit a completed Form R by
July 1 each year, describing all releases that took place during the
previous calendar year. Facilities using listed toxic chemicals in any other
way in quantities greater than 10,000 pounds during a calendar year must
submit inventory forms by July 1 of the following calendar year. The
EPA has the authority to revise these threshold quantities and to change
the SIC codes covered by Section 313.
More than 300 chemicals in more than 20 categories are now included on
the list. EPA, through its rule-making authority, can add or remove
chemicals from this list The EPA has so far deleted six toxic chemicals
from the Toxic Chemical List.
9-18
-------
Inventory reports from facilities must be submitted both to the EPA and
to designated state agencies. The EPA has established and maintains a
national toxic chemical inventory, called the Toxic Release Inventory
(TRI) database, containing the submitted inventory information.
Individuals may access this national database electronically, or may
obtain included information by several other means.
Other SARA Title III provisions
Section 322 of Title III addresses the effect of trade secrets on emergency
planning, community right-to-know, and toxic chemical release
reporting.
Section 325 of Title III describes the penalties for failure to comply with
the requirements of this law. Civil and administrative penalties ranging
from up to $10,000 to $75,000 per violation or per day per violation can be
assessed facilities that fail to comply with the emergency planning
(Section 302), emergency notification (Section 304), community right-to-
know (Sections 311 and 312), toxic chemical release (Section 313), and
trade secret (Sections 322 and 323) reporting requirements. Criminal
penalties of up to $50,000 or 5 years in prison may also be assessed any
individual who knowingly and willingly fails to provide emergency
notification of a hazardous chemical release. Penalties of up to $20,000
and/or up to 1 year in prison may be assessed any person who
knowingly and willfully discloses any information entitled to protection
as a trade secret.
In addition, Section 326 includes provisions allowing citizens to initiate
civil actions against the EPA, SERCs, or the owner or operator of a facility
for failure to meet the requirements of the emergency planning and
community right-to-know provisions of Title III. A SERC, LEPC, or state
or local government may initiate actions against facility owners or
operators for failure to comply with Title III requirements. Finally, states
may file suit against the EPA for failure to provide trade secret
information.

U. S. Environmental Protection Agency.
"EHS chemicals" have been identified by
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
as particular toxic threats. They are listed
under SARA Title III in the appendices to
40 CFR § 355, Emergency Planning and
Notification.
Defined in Section 302 of SARA Title III as
all buildings, equipment, structures, and
other stationary items which are located
on a single site or on contiguous or
adjacent sites and which are owned or
operated by the same person (or by any
person who controls, is controlled by, or
under common control with, such person).
For purposes of emergency release
notification, the term also includes motor
vehicles, rolling stock, and aircraft.
A hazard category that includes chemicals
described as flammable, combustible
liquid, pyrophoric, or oxidizer (as defined
by 29 CFR §1910.1200).
The temperature at which a liquid is
evaporating or evolving vapor at a rate
high enough to produce a vapor-air
mixture that can be ignited.

Hazard category
Hazardous chemical
Hazardous material
Five categories - immediate (acute)/
delayed (chronic), fire, sudden release of
pressure, and reactive hazards - of
hazardous chemicals are defined in 29
CFR§ 1910.1200.
Any chemical that is a physical or health
hazard as defined by OSHA (29 CFR §
1910.1200(c)).
Any substance or material in a quantity or
form that may be harmful to humans,
animals, crops, water systems, or other
elements of the environment if
accidentally released. Hazardous
materials include: explosives, gases
(compressed, liquefied, or dissolved),
flammable and combustible liquids,
flammable solids or substances/oxidizing
substances, poisonous and infectious
substances, radioactive materials, and
corrosives.

IDLH
Substances designated as hazardous
under CERCLA. CERCLA includes
substances listed under the Clean Water
Act, the Clean Air Act, the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA),
and the Toxic Substances Control Act
(TSCA) Section 7.
The Immediately Dangerous to Life or
Health (IDLH) value represents the
maximum airborne concentration of a
chemical to which a healthy person can be
exposed for 30 minutes and escape
without suffering irreversible health
effects or symptoms that impair escape
(ranging from runny eyes that temporarily
impair eyesight to a coma). IDLH values
are derived from mammalian toxirity
studies.
Immediate (acute)
hazard
A hazard category including highly toxic,
toxic, irritant, sensitizer, corrosive (as
defined by 29 CFR § 1910.1200), and other
hazardous chemicals that cause an
adverse effect to a target organ. Such
effects usually develop rapidly, result
from short-term exposure and are of short
duration.
