We'll remember the moment the news came -- where we were and what we were doing.  Some will remember an image of a fire, or a story of rescue.  Some will carry memories of a face and a voice gone forever.  (President George W. Bush)

 

The following is intended to provide a comprehensive list of internet sites of use for medical emergency planning and in particular Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) consequence event planning. To be useful as a working document, the listing is divided into the following categories: organizations, periodicals and publications, procedures/protocols/incident command information, references, and training/seminars/classes/conferences.

 

As an introduction to understanding the complexity of all of the federal offices involved in WMD, go to the organizational chart at http://cns.miis.edu/research/cbw/domestic.htm#wmdchart
