The National Library of Medicine developed the WISER (Wireless Information System for Emergency Responders) system for emergency or disaster first responders to provide support information on hazardous substances, including chemical identification, physical characteristics, human health data, and containment and suppression information. WebWISER is the version for the Web and there is now a version available for iPhone, Blackberry, and Droid devices. This wireless technology for mobile devices has proven to be an invaluable decision making tool for first responders, including Hazmat Specialists and EMS personnel. – Barbara LeTarte, MLIS
