Environmental Response Management Application (ERMA)

ERMA® is an online mapping tool that integrates both static and real-time data, such as Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) maps, ship locations, weather, and ocean currents, in a centralized, easy-to-use format for environmental responders and decision makers.

ERMA is designed to:

Find out how NOAA is using the online mapping tool ERMA to help the Arctic region prepare for climate change and possible oil spills.

Atlantic ERMA is an online mapping tool for the Atlantic coast which now extends north through New England.

Caribbean ERMA has been used to visualize environmental response data during a regional oil spill drill and to map vessel groundings near coral reefs.

This online mapping tool for the Gulf of Mexico integrates static and real time response data from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

Great Lakes ERMA is helping to expedite cleanup and restoration of Areas of Concern and to assist pollution response efforts in coastal areas of the Great Lakes.

Gulf of Mexico ERMA integrates key information to support environmental and severe-weather responses in the Gulf of Mexico.

Pacific Islands ERMA covers the Hawaiian Islands and outlying territories. It is primarily focused on impacts from coastal storms and marine debris, including data for the 2011 Japanese earthquake and tsunami response.

This regional ERMA allows stakeholders and communities to visualize ecological, human use and infrastructure data in a centralized location.

Southwest ERMA has played a role from the earliest days of the response and damage assessment for the 2015 Refugio beach Oil Spill near Santa Barbara CA.
