Critical Situation Management's TranSafe Product

Each year in the United States, more than 800,000 shipments of hazardous materials are transported by rail car, tanker truck, barge and airplane. In the case of an emergency, shippers, carriers, government agencies, insurers and cleanup contractors must respond quickly and use all available resources.

• TranSafe is the first online service for total support of hazardous material(s) emergencies.
• TranSafe is a 24-hour Internet service for crisis management.
• TranSafe's annual subscriptions are low cost, bringing the best-of-the-best online resources within reach of all user groups.
• TranSafe is fully configurable to meet the needs of corporate, government and trade association users for enterprise-wide incident management and reporting.

Currently, manual, three-ring binders and telephones cannot keep up with the rapid pace of emergencies; nor, can they deliver the critical information and expertise that these events demand.

TranSafe, by Critical Situation Managements, is a new ASP Internet service for critical situation management online. TranSafe offers a low cost, subscription service to industry and government for cooperation, collaboration and expertise delivery online.

TranSafe provides instant access to GIS maps, chemical danger zones and phone numbers of impacted receptors, such as schools, hospitals and day-care centers. Users are provided with the names and phone numbers of hazmat responders and cleanup contractors in the area, MSDSs, weather, traffic reports and much, much more.

TranSafe is a true ASP service with a zero footprint and full configurability. With an Internet connection and a browser, subscribers can use the TranSafe service anytime, anywhere.

TranSafe provides public and private chat functions so that those involved in incident management can communicate, cooperate and share expertise. TranSafe can also help communities obtain a greater understanding of hazmat risks in their area, identify planning deficiencies, update emergency plans, train first responders, and simulate and test the local response systems for strengths and needed improvements.
