Rapid Chemical Emergency Decision Support
Rapid Chemical Emergency Decision Support
We develop rapid chemical dispersion and emergency response tools designed to support the first minutes and hours of a hazmat or chemical release scenario. Our platform helps teams quickly understand where conditions are safe, conditional, or hazardous as an event evolves.
Deliver rapid, practical chemical hazard modeling that improves situational awareness, supports decision-making, and strengthens emergency response readiness.
Our mission is to provide responders, facilities, and safety professionals with a fast, reliable, and easy-to-use advisory layer for chemical release planning, training, and incident support.
About
Tennessee Soteria is an early-stage technology company focused on modernizing chemical emergency response tools. We are building rapid dispersion modeling and documentation software that helps organizations respond faster, train more effectively, and create more defensible incident records.
Our goal is not to replace existing emergency plans or safety systems, but to serve as a fast, operationally useful advisory layer that improves visibility and confidence during time-sensitive scenarios.
