Assignment:

Use the provided CAMEO hazmat release modeling site data and to answer the following questions about a hypothetical chemical spill in the railroad yard in Temple, TX.

1. What chemical was released in this scenario? (Refer to site data.)

2. What is the source of the chemical leak? (Refer to the site data.)

3. Go to the CAMEO Chemicals website, and enter the chemical name in the search bar. What is the listed chemical description (i.e. color and odor)?

4. On the same website, it lists the AEGL-3 parts per million (ppm) limit. AEGL-3 is the Acute Exposure Guideline Limit. Level 3 means life-threatening health effects or death. How many parts per million (ppm) does it list as the AEGL-3?

5. Look at the image showing the modeling scenario at peak exposure. The area within the dark red oval is exposed to 20 ppm (life-threatening levels of hazardous chemicals). Name 3 types of facilities/institutions located within the 20ppm hazardous plume.

6. Remember, this is only a scenario. Not an actual event. As an emergency manager, how could this hazardous material model/scenario help you plan and mitigate a future disaster or deaths/injuries during an actual disaster?
