The Interagency Modeling and Atmospheric Assessment Center (IMAAC) – The IMAAC is an interagency center responsible for production, coordination, and dissemination of the Federal consequence predictions for an airborne hazardous material release. Through a partnership of the Departments of Homeland Security, Energy, Defense, and Commerce (through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)), EPA, NASA, and NRC, the IMAAC provides the single Federal atmospheric prediction of hazardous material concentration to all levels of the Incident Command. The IMAAC is an off-site resource that supports the incident response remotely. The NARAC is the interim IMAAC.
