\nNLM encourages submission of innovative proposals that enhance mutually beneficial collaboration among libraries and disaster-related agencies. For example, projects may increase awareness of health information resources, demonstrate how libraries and librarians can assist planners and responders with disaster-related information needs, show ways in which disaster workers can educate librarians about disaster management, and\/or include\u00a0 collaboration among partners in developing information resources that support planning and response to public health emergencies.\u00a0 Summaries of the previous years\u2019 funded projects can be viewed at http:\/\/disasterinfo.nlm.nih.gov\/dimrc\/disasterinfofunding.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n
