Don't keep this great resource to yourself! Please share it with your colleagues and networks.
Every
September, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), along with
3,000 global, national, regional, and local governments, as well as private and
public health institutions, supports emergency preparedness efforts and
encourages Americans to take action before, during, and after an emergency.
Every community in the United States should be ready to respond to an
infectious disease outbreak, chemical or radiological release, or natural
disaster.
This September,
CDC will team up with Ready.gov,
federal and public sector partners, and state and local public health
departments nationwide to raise awareness about The Power of Preparedness during
National Preparedness Month (NPM).
This year marks
the 100th anniversary of the great 1918 influenza pandemic, which
killed 50–100 million people. Planning and preparedness for all types of public
health emergencies is vital for keeping communities safe. States and
communities are developing preparedness plans and strengthening their ability
to respond to a broad range of public health emergencies.
This year’s
call-to-action, Prepare
Your Health, highlights four areas that complement the
roles that individuals, state and local public health departments, and CDC play
in creating community health resilience. It takes everyone pulling in the same
direction to build communities and a nation that can withstand, adapt to, and
recover from personal and public health emergencies.
