DMCC Self-Assessment Tool Meteorological Aspects of Consequence Assessment (December 2010)

DMCC recognizes that all DOE/NNSA sites may not be able to take advantage of the DMCC assist visit program. Accordingly, the DMCC developed a tool to enable self-assessment by DOE/NNSA site analysts, or self-assessment augmented by DMCC assistance. This Tool can be a valuable resource to the DOE/NNSA meteorological program and emergency management community. The availability of the DMCC Self-Assessment Tool, Meteorological Aspects of Consequence Assessment, can improve the quality of self-assessments of the meteorological programs and the interfaces between the meteorological program and the consequence assessment program.
