About ALOHA
ALOHA (Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres) is a modeling program that estimates threat zones associated with hazardous chemical releases, including toxic gas clouds, fires, and explosions. A threat zone is an area where a hazard (such as toxicity) has exceeded a user-specified Level of Concern (LOC). ALOHA is part of the CAMEO® software suite of products for emergency responders and planners.
Key Program Features
Generates a variety of scenario-specific output, including threat zones, threat at specific locations, and source strength graphs.
Calculates how quickly chemicals are escaping from tanks, puddles (on both land and water), and gas pipelines-and predicts how those release rates change over time.
Models many release scenarios: toxic gas clouds, BLEVEs (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosions), jet fires, vapor cloud explosions, pool fires, and flammable areas. See available scenarios by release source type...
Evaluates different types of hazard (depending on the release scenario): toxicity, flammability, thermal radiation, and overpressure.
Displays threat zones on MARPLOT maps (and also on Esri's ArcMap with the ALOHA ArcMap Import Tool External link. and Google Maps and Google Earth using the export as KML feature).
