NLM's WISER system for 1st responders

The National Library of Medicine maintains WISER, Wireless Information System for Emergency Resonders. This system provides information helpful to first responders to hazardous material incidents. This database, which is available as a program that can be run on a PC or as an online database when there is an Internet connection available, includes hazardous substance identification, physical characteristics, human health information, and containment and suppression advice.
