WMD, Emergency Management and Medical Web Sites      

 

1.  The following is intended to provide a comprehensive list of internet sites of use for emergency planning and in particular Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and medical emergency planning.   To be useful as a working document,  the listing is divided into the following categories: 

 

·        Organizations

·        Local Emergency Management/BT/Health/WMD web sites

·        References

Agricultural and Animal Issues

Decontamination

Diseases/Conditions/Agents/Treatment

Federal Plans and Guidance

First responder guides/procedures

Hospital & Health Facilities

Individual/Public Guides & Info

Information Management

Laboratories

Legal Issues

Mental Health Issues

Miscellaneous

·        Training/Seminars/Classes/Conferences

·        Periodicals and Publications

·        List Servers/Bulletin Services/Forums for WMD

·        Commercial Sites

 

2.  There is an incredible amount of information available through the internet (hence this document is currently 35 pages and growing!).  As an introduction to understanding the complexity of all of the federal offices involved in WMD,  go to the organizational chart at http://cns.miis.edu/research/cbw/domestic.htm#wmdchart

 

3.  For whatever electronic reason,  some of these links will not load directly.  If it will not load,  I recommend you copy the link and insert it into the address line on your web browser, then try bringing it up.  Some links are old and may not come up at all.  I fix those as I find them.

 

4.  To add to this listing or to get the latest edition contact Greg Banner at the Rhode Island Department of Health.  gregoryb@doh.state.ri.us   This is a working document and so updates are made to it almost continuously.

 

5.  The list will be maintained and available for downloading off of the web at the following address:
