NLM
is implementing changes to make it easier for online health information seekers
to find and navigate trusted disaster health information. As of November
2020, we have begun the process of transitioning DIMRC programs to other parts of NLM, integrating them into other NLM
resources, making them accessible on partner sites, or eventually discontinuing
them.
Currently, NLM is limiting updates to the Disaster Lit database to COVID-19 related data
collection tools found in the DR2.
We are no longer adding links to other new disaster-related information. The content of select resources from Disaster Lit will be
digitized and made available through Digital Collections and Bookshelf.
Journal
articles related to disaster health and public health emergencies can continue
to be found indexed in PubMed. Visit MedlinePlus, NLM’s trust
health information source, for topics
related to disaster health information.
The original
sources for disaster-related information from Disaster Lit can be found at:
- CDC
Emergency Preparedness and Response website
- ASPR
Public Health Emergency website
- ASPR Technical
Resources, Assistance Center, and Information Exchange (TRACIE) website
These efforts serve
to improve discoverability of and access to critical disaster resources by
NLM's broad set of users, while also enabling NLM to leverage its talents and
resources in ways that maximize our efficiency and effectiveness. We will
continue to provide updates as changes occur.
If
you have questions or suggestions, please contact NLM Customer Service.
