What is CATS?
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. For a more detailed description of CATS,
please read the
fact sheet.
