ESW Mobile App is intended mostly for reference before and after emergencies, and for study purposes when preparing for certification/recertification in emergency skills. Although the app can be used during emergencies, the degree of detail contained in the management steps is better suited for review purposes. This app is intended for use in conjunction with the complete ESW manual. Users of this app are strongly encouraged to refer to the manual for thorough explanation of management steps, and for a comprehensive analysis of the related research along with full citations.
