Paper investigating current and potential uses for the State of Texas Emergency Assistance Registry (STEAR) data to better assist people with disabilities. STEAR is a state-run database designed to assist emergency managers working for city and county governments to prepare for the needs of citizens with disabilities or transportation needs. Disability or special needs registries similar to STEAR have been widely promoted within emergency management as an improvement for inclusive planning and response. However, little research on the use or effectiveness of these registries exists.

This paper discusses an ad hoc query tool for relational databases. Most Web servers hosting biological data limit users to a defined set of search options and output formats that are short of the whole range of options available to users with direct database access. However, to make full use of the wealth of data in the database resource, it is desirable to have an intermediate solution that provides a broad range of flexible query and output options through a Web portal.
