S²RT is a suite of SWAT Spill Readiness Tools.  The S²RT was developed to aid companies in bolstering the further development of their existing internal Risk Management pathway.  In completing the entire suite of tools a company can be better prepared for when a release occurs.  Whether it is through the professional training services with spill hardened instructors, using tools such as the Planning and Preparedness tool to audit your existing plans against regulatory criteria or using the spill modeling in tow with the cold eye review and development of a GRP along with case sensitive control points to mitigate a release, SWAT is there to protect your environmental liabilities.
