Currently, NLM is not updating the Disaster Information Management Research Center (DIMRC) website, and is limiting updates to the Disaster Lit database to COVID-19 related data collection tools found in the DR2. We are no longer adding links to other new disaster-related information. The content of select resources from Disaster Lit will be digitized and made available through Digital Collections and Bookshelf.

The original sources for disaster-related information from Disaster Lit can be found at:
 • CDC Emergency Preparedness and Response website
 • ASPR Public Health Emergency website
 • ASPR Technical Resources, Assistance Center, and Information Exchange (TRACIE) website

If you have questions or suggestions, please contact NLM Customer Service.
