Calling all Homeland Security students….

I need your help.  I came across what seems to be, a very cool site.  At www.clearimpact.com you can run simulations of possible disasters that could happen in your area.  Basically, you choose your disaster of choice and then select a location on the map.  From there, the site computes results based on what “could happen.” 

Here is the problem, I ran a train derailment from Dekalb and got results immediately.  But, I don’t understand the results.  Can anyone help?

 If you go to the site, you’ll notice a blog in the upper right-hand corner.  I blogged the creators of the site for some help.  Hopefully I’ll get feedback soon.  If the feedback is good, I think this would be a great addition to our Homeland security site. 

Check that out at www.niu.edu/homelandsecurity.
