Emergint to build hazardous sites tracking software system for NCEH/ATSDR
(ATLANTA, GA) - Emergint will assist CDC with this project to design and develop the ATSDR system which will be used to track contaminated sites and track and manage Agency activities surrounding site investigation, studies, and community education.
Emergint will re-engineer ATSDR's current HazDat software system and develop Sequoia which will address gaps in business needs and functional and reporting requirements. Data collected/integrated by the system will provide information regarding:
- Classification of sites
- Physical sources and hazards at the site
- Contaminants detail including contaminants found at the site, the media found in, location, max concentration, and type of exposure
- Populations and community concerns
- Major issues influencing public health at the site
- Overall site categorization concerning the public health hazard presented by the site and details about exposures and the hazards
- Recommendations to reduce or eliminate exposures
Emergint is tasked to design and build data systems that will address current business requirements, provide automated processes, allow rapid modification and addition of new requirements and contain design elements that allow easy integration with other CDC software systems.
