HHS updates website on radiation emergency medical management
Trustees can spread the word about the redesigned website on radiation emergency medical management produced by the Health & Human Services’ Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response and the National Library of Medicine. The site adds behavioral health resources and material for first responders, senior health care leaders, veterinarians and public information officers. Users also can download most of the information in case the Internet is not available in an emergency, or access it on a smartphone app called Mobile REMM. “Medical personnel often are unfamiliar with radiation illness and when an incident occurs, they need immediate, credible treatment guidance,” said ASPR’s John Koerner.
