Vulnerable Zone Indicator System (Option 2)

Option 2: Submit Latitude/Longitude

Use this site to access the Vulnerable Zone Indicator System (VZIS). VZIS can help you determine if your area could be affected by a chemical accident at a facility that submitted a Risk Management Plan (RMP).

To use the VZIS: Enter a street address or latitude/longitude on the form fields below. You will receive our response via e-mail, so be sure to include your e-mail address in the box provided.

Find your latitude/longitude

The following website allows you to locate your latitude and longitude:

  • https://geocoding.geo.census.gov/geocoder/

Type the latitude/longitude in decimal form (latitude = 38.762097, longitude = -76.903631) or degrees, minutes, seconds (latitude 38, 45' 43" N, longitude = 79, 54' 13" W).

Internet-based address finders use various methods and data sources to determine latitude/longitude values, and so values may not reflect the address' precise global position. In addition, these values may differ among websites.

Note

Information submitted to EPA via this form may be routed to an EPA contractor for processing. Please do not submit any sensitive personally identifiable information or other sensitive information via this form. 

If you do not have an email address, please contact the RMP Reporting Center.
