There are many reference tools that are available to first responders as smartphone apps. For example, the ERG is available as a smartphone app directly from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. Other useful phone apps or mobile-enabled websites include WISER, an app that provides chemical, radiological, and biological information for first responders and medical personnel, published by the National Institutes of Health and CAMEO, a mobile-enabled chemical data website published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. There are numerous online and mobile resources not mentioned, but you should carefully choose which resources you use. Some sources may not be completely up-to-date and it is recommended that you use only information from trusted sources, such as from governmental agencies or reputable emergency response organizations.
