The
eruption of a dormant volcano, with the generation of a major volcanic ash cloud, can
play havoc with regional aircraft flights, air quality and have a
major impact on the local transportation and accommodation facilities.
As the ash cloud drifted across cities, countryside, water bodies and highways additional health and safety concerns were raised, with the potential of highway closures, water quality impairment and an increased demand for hospital services, to treat respiratory problems.
To
respond quickly to the drifting ash cloud 'Incident Commander
Pro' can rapidly generate status maps of the ash cloud's progression and prepare
emergency Aviation Alerts, Public Health
Bulletins and Evacuation Plans.
