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

Effective immediately the pre-release beta version of the new SNS TourSolver is available. The new version is simplified for and focused on SNS routing and distribution needs. The Citrix based TourSolver will no longer be available. The new version no longer requires Citrix and is fully web-based.

The new and improved SNS TourSolver was custom designed for use by the CDC's Division of the Strategic National Stockpile (DSNS) state and local partners.

All users that were registered for the original Citrix version will have the choice to use their login name and password that was used on the Citrix based TourSolver or the can sign up and create a new username at http://snstoursolver.c2logix.com. New Users please sign up at the site. Users will need to enter their data in a new Excel format that separates the street number from the street name. Samples of the new spreadsheet design can be downloaded at: http://snstoursolver.c2logix.com/help.html.

If you need any assistance, please contact Rick Pietz or Bob Roberts, C2Logix Route Optimization Consultant, and we’ll work with you to get the most out of SNS TourSolver.
