Designed for on-site or remote useage, the maps and related support data provide rapid access to informaiton of value to response decisionmaking. Such diverse requirements as the issuance of warnings, selection of equipment deployment points, the identification of fish and wildlife habitats, and identification of the degree of environmental sensitivity for an area may be satisfied through use of these maps and data.
