WISER: Wireless Information System for Emergency Responders
WISER (Wireless Information System for Emergency Responders) is National Library of Medicine's PDA tool for first responders to Hazmat incidences such as spills of hazardous materials. It provides critical information on hazardous substances, including physical characteristics, human health data, and containment and suppression information -- all on a hand-held device (currently, the Palm OS and the Pocket PC).
The software is available for free.
Here is the most recent press release from the National Library of Medicine about WISER:
