EPA created this course for emergency responders and decision-makers as a basic introduction to interpreting air plume maps. The interactive course simulates two emergency response scenarios, one involving a chemical release and one a radiological release. You will learn to assess the accuracy and usefulness of an air plume plot, use the information to make protective action decisions, and respond to press questions.
The course features:
- How plume maps are created using assumptions (weather patterns, radioactive source, amount of explosives…)
- The limitations of plume maps,
- The benefits of using air plume maps, and
- The importance of developing effective messages regarding emergency information for the public and media.
