Disaster Information Management Research Center

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is pleased to announce a new web resource about its 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.

DIMRC was created to aid the nation's disaster management efforts. DIMRC is tasked with the collection, organization, and dissemination of health information for natural, accidental, or deliberate disasters.
