A set of WISER tutorial videos has been released to introduce and demonstrate WISER functionality.  The videos can also be found in the training section of the NLM YouTube Channel. They include a dive into the information provided by a known substance as well as a demonstration of WISER's protective distance mapping feature. Feedback and comments are appreciated as we strive to make these tutorials better for the first responders who rely on WISER to do their job.

Recent Activity - What Else Has Happened?

WISER 5.0 was released this past October. Take a look at the new features added to WISER in the 5.0 release:
- The search algorithm on all platforms has been completely revisited and enhanced.
- WISER now supports full Emergency Response Guidebook 2016 integration, including the ability to map detailed distance data for select substances (e.g. Chlorine) and provide search results directly from the ERG 2016.

Full Platform Equivalence

WISER for Windows and WebWISER now feature an enhanced search and the ability to browse by category.
WebWISER now includes the chemical reactivity feature.

The ERG 2016 is now provided as a tool on the iPad.

All WISER platforms include data updates based on the latest Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB), Radiation Event Medical Management (REMM), and Chemical Reactivity Worksheet (CRW 4.0) content.

Numerous bug fixes and usability improvements.
