Environmental Response Management Application (ERMA ), Caribbean

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
The Environmental Response Management Application (ERMA ) is a web-based Geographic Information System (GIS) tool that assists both emergency responders and environmental resource managers in dealing with incidents that may adversely impact the environment. ERMA integrates and synthesizes various real-time and static datasets into a single interactive map, thus provides fast visualization of the situation and improves communication and coordination among responders and environmental stakeholders. Caribbean ERMA brings together the data necessary to plan for or respond to an emergency response in the Caribbean, including information on coral reef structures, extent of sea turtle habitat, locations of mangroves, and presence of threatened and endangered species. The dataset also incorporates geographically specific elements of the Area Contingency Plan for the Caribbean, such as response equipment locations and protection strategies. ERMA is a registered trademark.
