REMM - Radiation Emergency Medical Management

From the ASPR Blog: REMM redesigned

The Radiation Emergency Medical Management (REMM) web site, released by HHS’ Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response in 2007, offers health care providers key clinical information about the various types of radiation incidents and injuries, and how to recognize, triage and treat these injuries. It also provides instructional and training material about radiation itself and the federal assets available to help with the response. The REMM web site was recently redesigned to make it more user-friendly and have a more modern navigation system. Learn more >>
