Welcome to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Division of Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) Modeling Forum. This forum’s purpose is to promote the exchange of ideas, models and simulations designed to improve emergency response efforts and public health. Our initial focus is on the SNS efforts to plan and model the response efforts required in the aftermath of an aerosolized anthrax attack on a US population, which is our most difficult mission in terms of urgency [the entire affected population would have to be provided prophylaxis with in 48 hours], however we encourage dialogue amongst all of our colleagues who are modeling various aspects and attributes of emergency response and other public health missions. It is with this exchange of ideas and information in mind, that we encourage you to suggest forum topics, and links to other forums, news articles, publications, blogs and websites that you feel are pertinent to the goals of this site.

For more information about the SNS, please visit the CDC home page or the SNS website.

Click here to watch a two-minute demo of TourSolver. While the demo presents the standard out-of-the-box version of TourSolver, which is not customized for the specific needs of disaster planning, it provides a general overview of the features of the SNS TourSolver version, provided on the Portal.

Lastly, I would like to remind you that this site is unsecured and open to the public, so please do not post information that could possibly compromise your jurisdictions plans, especially the identification of any fixed facilities that you plan to use during a response. When possible, please use the generic POD or RSS or other generic terms in your postings to this site. Additionally, please feel free to post anonymously or using an alias, though you will have to register and logon to post your comments and questions. -Rick Pietz, Forum Administrator

Staff from C2Logix, the developer of SNS TourSolver, are available for one-on-one online sessions to help you learn how to use TourSolver, to assist with challenges you face when using the software for disaster planning, or to help advanced users go to the next level with more complicated routing scenarios. The goal of the sessions will be to enable Users to generate plans and corrective action reports, which may allow you to receive TAR exercise credits. Users may also be trained on updating plans in the event of an actual emergency. These one-on-one sessions are an enhancement to the typical support provided for the SNS TourSolver, such as the SNS Modeling Forum (www.snsmodeling.org).

To schedule an online meeting, please contact Rick Pietz (eoj3@cdc.gov) or Bob Roberts, C2Logix Route Optimization Consultant (broberts@c2logix.com), and provide your complete contact information (phone, title, address) along with available time windows. Mr. Pietz or Mr. Roberts will call you back to schedule a session.

We hope that you will take advantage of this expanded TourSolver support and training opportunity!
