MIRA Safety Releases Free Industrial Disaster Simulator After Toledo Chemical Release

MIRA Safety announced a free Industrial Disaster Simulator on October 22, 2026, an interactive educational chemical spill simulator showing how an industrial or tanker release might affect air and nearby waterways. The Austin, Texas-based maker of CBRN protective equipment said the launch follows this week's chemical release in Toledo, Ohio, and the first available scenario covers the Toledo area. PRLog published the announcement.

How the MIRA Safety Simulator Works

Users choose from four incident types: facility leak, storage spill, rail tanker leak or derailment. They can select a material, set wind speed from 1.5 to 20 m/s and follow illustrative air and river scenarios on a timeline from five minutes to one week. The simulator is free with no account required, scenarios can be shared by link and results can be downloaded. A free 10-page PDF guide walks users through each step.

MIRA Safety said the tool is designed for education and general awareness only, and that during an active incident residents should follow official emergency alerts and instructions from local authorities. The simulator joins the company's free Nuclear Blast, Biological and Wildfire Simulators. MIRA Safety also offers gas masks and filters for households and organizations building a preparedness plan, according to its website.

"Our mission goes beyond products," said Roman Zrazhevskiy, Founder and CEO of MIRA Safety. "Education is the first layer of protection, and tools like this help bring that awareness to people around the world."

According to the Associated Press, a ruptured tank at a chemical trucking facility in Toledo began leaking glycidyl methacrylate on the night of October 20, sending a white plume into the air for more than 14 hours. Nearly 1,000 residents were evacuated, and more than 50,000 people across a three-mile radius were advised to shelter in place until the next evening. Scenarios for additional states are in development.

MIRA Safety's Earlier Simulator Releases

MIRA Safety released a free interactive pandemic simulator on October 7, 2026, letting the public place a single case anywhere in the U.S. And watch a contagious disease move through a modeled population of 350 million, PRLog reported. The release came amid reports of a Siberian plague.

On October 5, 2026, MIRA Safety launched a free nuclear blast simulator that maps blast radius, fallout and safe shelter time for any location, according to PRLog. The tool turns abstract nuclear risk into actionable preparedness planning for the public.

MIRA Safety and Gumárny Zubří announced a strategic partnership on September 30, 2026, to expand access to CBRN and protective products through MIRA's retail channels, FinancialContent Business Page reported.
