DHS Launches New System to Help Communities Track and Respond to Overdose 

" Wisconsin Suspected Overdose Alerts for Rapid Response (WiSOARR) system will help the state's efforts to address overdose epidemic"

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) has launched an innovative new online tool for people working in overdose spike response, substance use prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery. The Wisconsin Suspected Overdose Alerts for Rapid Response (WiSOARR) system will provide near real-time data on when and where suspected overdoses may have occurred to inform immediate actions to address drug overdoses.

"WiSOARR gives our substance use partners a faster and clearer understanding of when and where suspected overdoses are occurring in their communities," said Michelle Haese, DHS director of substance use initiatives. "This system is a step forward in our ongoing work to better understand and respond to the ever-evolving drug overdose epidemic with the right strategies at the right time."
