CAMEO Data Manager Software

CAMEO Data Manager is a database application where you can keep track of information (such as chemical inventories and contact information for facilities) to assist in emergency response and planning in your local community.  It is especially useful for managing data required under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). 

You can enter information into the CAMEO Data Manager database manually and/or by importing a Tier2 Submit file (if the facilities and/or planners in your state use that program to complete Tier II forms under EPCRA).

CAMEO Data Manager is part of the CAMEO software suite, which is used widely to plan for and respond to chemical emergencies. CAMEO Data Manager replaces CAMEOfm, and offers new functionality and features. Files created in CAMEOfm and Tier2 Submit can be imported into CAMEO Data Manager.

Downloading CAMEO Data Manager

The Windows version can be run on the Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating systems. The Macintosh version can be run on the Ventura (13), Sonoma (14), and Sequoia (15) operating systems. Other operating systems have not been tested and are not supported.

Significant Changes in CAMEO Data Manager Version 4.4.0

• Enhanced the Contact record interface so that the initial data fields display dynamically based on the chosen Contact Type(s).
• Adjusted the advanced options for PDF report creation to allow Contacts to be excluded from the report if specified by the user, such as for privacy purposes.
• Updated state-specific fields for reporting year 2024.
• Updated the county boundary checks to use the latest files from the U.S. Census Bureau.
• Updated the FEMA Resource Types drop-down list to the latest values from the National Incident Management System.
• Resolved issue in 4.3.0 where Facility and Chemical searches could run slower for very large (e.g., state-level) datasets with thousands of records.
• Modified behavior to allow CAMEO Data Manager 4.4.0 to be run side-by-side with an older 4.3.0 (or 4.2.0) version. However, the 4.3.0 and 4.2.0 versions should still NOT be run at the same time, and you should not run multiple versions of CAMEO Data Manager at all when you plan to interact with other programs in the CAMEO suite.
• Made many smaller user interface refinements and enhancements.
• Fixed several small bugs.
• Revised the help topics.
