Runs the ERG 2016 tool based upon an incident point and Placard input. The 2016 Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG2016) was developed jointly by Transport Canada (TC), the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), the Secretariat of Transport and Communications of Mexico (SCT) and with the collaboration of CIQUIME (Centro de Información Química para Emergencias) of Argentina, for use by fire fighters, police, and other emergency services personnel who may be the first to arrive at the scene of a transportation incident involving dangerous goods. It is primarily a guide to aid first responders in quickly identifying the specific or generic hazards of the material(s) involved in the incident, and protecting themselves and the general public during the initial response phase of the incident.

Parameter	Explanation
in_features	Represents the initial point the spill occurred. Select a point on the map. NOTE: You must select an Incident Point. If the Input Feature Set is empty, the tool will fail.
placard_id	Pick from the dropdown list of Placards. Each chemical has a placard associated with it, which is a number which represents a certain chemical. Sometimes a person may see a incident occur (semi truck spill) and see the placard, but not know the chemical.
wind_bearing	Enter a wind direction 0-360, with 0 being North. This represents the direction towards which the wind is blowing.
time_of_day	DAY is any time after sunrise and before sunset. NIGHT is any time between sunset and sunrise.
spill_size	Generally, a SMALL SPILL is one which involves a single, small package (e.g., a drum containing up to approximately 200 liters), a small cylinder, or a small leak from a large package. A LARGE SPILL is one which involves a spill from a large package, or multiple spills from many small packages.
