Summary

Abstract: CATS is a consequence management tool package that integrates hazard prediction, consequence assessment and emergency management tools (including HPAC) with critical population and infrastructure data, all within a commercial Geographical Information System (GIS). CATS uses its constituent tools and data to predict the hazard areas caused by chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive incidents, as well as earthquakes and hurricanes. CATS helps to estimate collateral damage to military, civil and industrial installations, assesses associated casualties and damage to facilities, resources, and infrastructure and creates mitigation strategies for responders.
