The chemical industry poses a potential security risk to factory personnel and neighboring residents. In order to mitigate prospective damage, a synthetic method must be developed for an emergency response. With the development of environmental numeric simulation models, model integration methods, and modern information technology, many Decision Support Systems (DSSs) have been established. However, existing systems still have limitations, in terms of synthetic simulation and network interoperation. In order to resolve these limitations, the matured simulation model for chemical accidents was integrated into the WEB Geographic Information System (WEBGIS) platform. The complete workflow of the emergency response, including raw data (meteorology information, and accident information) management, numeric simulation of different kinds of accidents, environmental impact assessments, and representation of the simulation results were achieved. This allowed comprehensive and real-time simulation of acute accidents in the chemical industry. The main contribution of this paper is that an organizational mechanism of the model set, based on the accident type and pollutant substance; a scheduling mechanism for the parallel processing of multi-accident-type, multi-accident-substance, and multi-simulation-model; and finally a presentation method for scalar and vector data on the web browser on the integration of a WEB Geographic Information System (WEBGIS) platform. The outcomes demonstrated that this method could provide effective support for deciding emergency responses of acute chemical accidents.

“…After the incidence, the incident identifier who first activated the emergency alarm shall report to the WIC on the location of the incident, probable quantity of chemical involved, probable extend of damage, wind direction and the actions taken at the site, if any. A communication network for the proposed [5] on‐site emergency plan is given in Figure 4.…”

“…These hazardous materials need to be carefully handled by highly competent and experienced personnel to ensure safe storage and handling (Ramabrahmam, Sreenivasulu, & Mallikarjunan, 1996). Recently, a number of incidents have occurred as a result of chlorine gas releases from process plants in general in Taiwan.…”
