Goals of CHEMM (Taken from CHEMM Site).

• Enable first responders, first receivers, other healthcare providers, and planners to plan for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of mass-casualty incidents involving chemicals
• Provide a comprehensive, user-friendly, web-based resource that is also downloadable in advance, so that it would be available during an event if the internet is not accessible

Taken from CHEMM-IST Site: "CHEMM-IST is a prototype decision support tool developed by experts in medicine and emergency response as an aid for identifying the chemical a patient was exposed to in a mass casualty incident. Since CHEMM-IST is currently in the prototype phase of development, it should not be used for patient care."

This site leads personnel through a series of questions to determine the type of chemical affecting a patient.  The types are divided into four general categories: Knockdown, Pesticide, Acute Solvent, and Irritant Gas Syndrome.
