Abstract

A serious chemical accident can occur at industrial site due its production activity and handling, storage and transportation of hazardous chemicals. Such accidents may affect surrounding business companies and population. Given the various physical and human scenarios, this project focuses on developing a decision support application for reporting serious accidents to the civil protection authorities. The application of methodologies, using specific software, resulted in the development of an application that aims to
enable and facilitate this decision making, supporting the emergency steering of the companies to manage this type of communication in crisis situations.
