Wireless Information System for Emergency Responders (WISER) is a system designed to assist first responders in hazardous material incidents. WISER provides a wide range of information on hazardous substances, including substance identification support, physical characteristics, human health information, and containment and suppression advice.

The operational versions of WISER for Palm OS and Pocket PC are also available for download.

WISER Features:

• Mobile support, providing First Responders with critical information in the palm of their hand.
• Comprehensive decision support, including assistance in identification of an unknown substance and, once the substance is identified, providing guidance on immediate actions necessary to save lives and protect the environment.
• Access to 400+ substances from NLM's Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB) which contains detailed information on over 4,700 critical hazardous substances
• Rapid access to the most important information about a hazardous substance by an intelligent synopsis engine and display called "Key Info"
• Intuitive, simple, and logical user interface developed by working with experienced first responders
