Download the Program Components
Since CAMEOfm 2.0,
the traditional CAMEO functionality has been split into two
programs that need to be downloaded and installed
separately.
- CAMEOfm is a database application where you can keep track of information (such as chemical inventories and contact information for facilities in your community) to assist in emergency response and planning.
- CAMEO Chemicals has an extensive chemical database with
critical response information for thousands of chemicals,
and a tool that tells you what reactions might occur if
chemicals were mixed together. (The downloadable version
can share information with other CAMEO suite programs; an
online
version
is also available.)
