Skyscape Updates Free Emergency Responder Resource for PDAs with New CDC Information to Aid

Skyscape Inc. has updated its free .911 emergency responder resource for Palm OS and Pocket PC devices with new recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) based on Hurricane Katrina experiences.

Designed as a concise and user-friendly resource for PDA and smartphone use by first responders, medical professionals, and the general public, .911 is free and available for download from Skyscape at: http://www.skyscape.com/hurricanes.

The new CDC recommendations include both preparations to undertake when facing an approaching hurricane as well as recovery efforts and healthcare issues to address following a storm. Hurricane recovery topics include:
* Preventing illness
* Preventing injury
* Keeping food & water safe
* Clean up safety
* Animal and insect hazards
* Environmental concerns
* Disaster mental health
* CDC Katrina update

Diagnosis, treatment, and vaccine information for infectious diseases that might threaten communities following a hurricane strike, is also included.

In addition to the CDC, sources include The Medical Letter, and Outlines in Clinical Medicine/Medical Emergencies.

.911 content is automatically updated via Skyscape's patented smARTlink technology. smARTlink also enables users to cross-index information with other Skyscape clinical and drug prescription solutions.
