NLM Disaster Information Management Research Center

Posted on Tuesday April 15, 2008 |

The National Library of Medicine® (NLM) just announced a new Web resource: Disaster Information Management Research Center (DIMRC).

The DIMRC Web site seeks to provide access to quality disaster health information at all stages of preparedness, response, mitigation, and recovery. Initially, the site will focus on NLM and NLM-supported resources and activities. It will then expand to include other sources of authoritative disaster health information.

The DIMRC is tasked with the collection, organization, and dissemination of health information for natural, accidental, or deliberate disasters.The Center is committed to providing this information as part of the federal effort to help prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the adverse health effects of disasters. It will work with federal, state, and local government, private organizations, and local communities.
