WISER for Android 3.1 is now available. Here?s a look at what?s new in this release:
• WISER's Help Identify Chemical capability is now available on the Android platform. Identify and validate an unknown chemical based on the following criteria:
o physical properties of the substance gathered by observation or sensors
o signs and symptoms of victims of exposure
o the ability to categorize a substance, such as a substance used in a meth lab or a flammable substance
o hazard values from NFPA 704 placards
o transportation identification, including DOT placards, type of road trailer, and type of rail car
• Use WISER's protective distance mapping feature on your Android device. Visualize the areas likely to be affected during the first 30 minutes after a substance is spilled or released on a live map. The Department of Transportation's Emergency Response Guidebook serves as the source of WISER's protective distance data.
WISER for Android can be downloaded and installed directly from the Google Play Store:
