Subject:      National Library of Medicine: Hurricane Katrina web page

The National Library of Medicine has compiled a new Hurricane Katrina web
page  <http://sis.nlm.nih.gov/enviro/hurricane.html>
http://sis.nlm.nih.gov/enviro/hurricane.html  on toxic chemical and
environmental health information resources for health workers and the
interested public. Links are provided to information on chemicals that may
be released as a result of the Katrina disaster and on environmental health
concerns following the wind and flood damage. 

The page includes a link to WISER, the Wireless Information System for
Emergency Responders. First responders may download the WISER set of
information on 400 toxic chemicals and hazardous materials to a Palm, Pocket
PC, or laptop/desktop computer that uses Microsoft Windows. WISER is
designed to help identify unknown substances and gives ready access to basic
emergency haz-mat information.

Links to TOXMAP identify and map locations of facilities that use or
transport significant levels of toxic chemicals, and lists the chemicals for
each facility. Maps are included for the Katrina-affected states as well as
for New Orleans, Biloxi, and Gulfport.
