The University of Texas at Dallas designed, developed, operated, and maintained E-Plan, a web-based information system that enables first responders to retrieve information critically needed in the initial stages of chemical emergencies. The project funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Homaland Security. E-Plan system was developed in 2000 and went live with the pilot system in June 2002 that now contains records for over 100,000 Tier II and RMP facilities and 22,000 unique chemicals in all 50 states, which automatically link to the DOT Emergency Response Guides, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), and U.S. Coast Guard CHRIS data sheets. More than 1,700 First Responders and other emergency personnel have been trained and registered as E-Plan users. Local implementation is simple since there is no software to purchase or distribute, and no local data entry requirements. Training is extremely simple and typically requires only about 1 hour.

E-Plan is free of charge to first responders and state and federal users!
