Description

WISER (Wireless Information System for Emergency Responders) is a mobile application designed to assist first responders in hazardous material incidents.


WISER: Information from Authoritative Sources

First responders in general, and HAZMAT units in particular, must make many decisions quickly in handling hazardous-materials incidents. They need accurate information about the hazardous substances, the emergency resources available, and the surrounding environmental conditions to save lives and minimize the impact on the environment and physical property. The WISER application extracts content from TOXNET's Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB), an authoritative, peer-reviewed information resource maintained by the National Library of Medicine, and places that information into the hands of those who need it most.


Features of WISER

* Rapid access to the most important information about a hazardous substance by an intelligent synopsis engine and display called Key Info

* Intuitive, simple, logical user interface developed by working with experienced first responders

* Comprehensive decision support, including assistance in identification of an unknown substance and, once the substance is identified, guidance on immediate actions necessary to save lives and protect the environment

* Access to NLMs Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB), which contains detailed peer-reviewed information on hazardous substances

* User Profiles enable users to specify the role they are currently playing at the scene of an incident: first responder, HAZMAT specialist, or EMS specialist. The key information presented to the user about a substance varies depending on this role, so that the information most relevant to the respective job can be quickly accessed.

* Radiological and biological substance support.

* GIS support provides for isolation/protective distance overlays on a map of the incident

* Mobile support, providing first responders critical information where they need it, when they need it.

What's New in Version 2.0

Version 2.0 of WISER for iPhone/iPod touch adds 2 highly requested features, Help Identify Chemical and protective distance mapping.

Help Identify Chemical: WISER can help an emergency responder identify and validate an unknown chemical based on the following criteria:
* physical properties of the substance gathered by observation or sensors
* sign and symptoms of victims of exposure
* the ability to categorize a substance, such as a substance used in a meth lab or a flammable substance
* hazard values from NFPA 704 placards
* transportation identification, including DOT placards, type of road trailer, and type of rail car

Protective Distance Mapping: Using a live map, visualize the areas likely to be affected during the first 30 minutes after a substance is spilled or released, per the DOT Emergency Response Guidebook.
