Cultural Competence in Preparedness Planning
Date: Wednesday, April 24, 2019
Time: 1:00pm (Eastern Time)
Overview
When a disaster strikes a community, it affects people of various cultural backgrounds—sometimes disproportionately. Cultural competence can help public health communicators reduce this disparity. Is your organization committed to building cultural competence? CDC’s Emergency Partners Information Connection and CDC’s Office of Minority Health and Health Equity came together for this webinar. Julio Dicent Taillepierre, team leader for the Initiatives and Partnerships Team, discussed why cultural competence matters during emergencies, the potential consequences of being culturally incompetent, and resources to help build your understanding. The webinar was held on April 24.
Webinar participants and viewers will accomplish the following:
- Describe CDC’s role in the topic covered during the presentation.
- Describe the topic’s implications for respective constituents.
- Discuss concerns and issues related to preparedness for and response to urgent public health threats.
- Identify reliable information resources for the topic.
- Describe how to promote health improvement, wellness, and disease prevention.
