Spill Center's SCCOM app for mobile devices offers users a direct link to technical, environmental and legal specialists for advice and assistance after pollution events at fixed facilities and in transportation.

Fast response is needed after an environmental release to contain the spillage and avoid setting off a complicated and potentially expensive chain of events, according to Spill Center.

The app is available for Apple, Android and Blackberry devices and displays a dynamically generated dashboard of electronic tools, tailored to the user who needs immediate access to emergency response resources and incident reporting.

The app provides the precise location of the release and enables a user to select from a list of Spill Center resources, including nearby cleanup contractors, environmental consultants, legal assistance, technical advisors and incident reporting specialists, among other services. Spill Center compliance associates are experienced in managing emergency response operations and completing all required incident reports, by phone and in writing, to avoid fines and penalties for non-compliance with environmental regulations.
