DEVELOPMENT OF CHEMICAL HAZARDS RESPONSE INFORMATION SYSTEM (CHRIS)

This report summarizes the development of the major components of the Chemical Hazards Response Information System (CHRIS). It also describes specific studies that were conducted as part of the CHRIS program during the development phase. The reporting of the development of CHRIS is particularly appropriate at this time since the complete system has only recently been made available to Coast Guard users. The system will be carefully evaluated during the first year that it is in use, and the results of this utilization study will be reported on at a later date. (Author)
