NLM Disaster Information Management Research Center Resource List Updates

NLM Disaster Information Management Research Center Resource List Updates. 2016 Jan-Feb;(408):b4.

January 29, 2016 [posted]

[Editor's Note: This is a reprint of an announcement published as a Disaster Information Management Research Center email update from the NLM Division of Specialized Information Services.

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) recently developed resource lists for three public health emergencies affecting both local and global communities. An incident Web page was created to gather resources on the emerging health issues arising from the Zika Virus. Two PDF documents on recent chemical incidents have been updated. Links to these lists are included below and also can be found on our NLM Disaster Information Management Research Center home page: https://disasterinfo.nlm.nih.gov

Please share these resources freely!



These resource lists link to a variety of sources such as:

  • Local, state, federal and international agencies and organizations.
  • Database searches for the health information issues around the incidents.
  • Social media resources for situational awareness.

On January 27, 2016, two new MeSH headings, Zika Virus Infection and Zika Virus, were added to the 2016 MeSH Browser. For additional information see the article, New 2016 MeSH Headings: Zika Virus Infection and Zika Virus.
