This webcast describes NACCHO's resource portfolio project on the CDC
preparedness capabilities and provides example of top-tier resources
that local health departments can use to help meet the requirements of
Capability 8: Medical Countermeasure Dispensing and Capability 9:
Medical Materiel Management and Distribution. CDC provided support for
NACCHO to collect information on local health department (LHD)
priorities and challenges related to these CDC public health
preparedness capabilities. Partnering with the Center for Infectious
Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) at the University of Minnesota, a
comprehensive environmental scan of available resources was conducted
before vetting and identifying top-tier resources that address these
priorities and challenges, several of which are featured in this
webcast. The goal of the project is to strengthen technical assistance
available to LHDs in support of their work related to the CDC public
health preparedness capabilities. The final listing of all top-tier
resources for each capability will be made available to all LHDs.
