CDC Public Health Preparedness Capability 1: Community Preparedness

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 1: Community Preparedness. CDC provided support for NACCHO to collect information on local health department (LHD) priorities and challenges related to this CDC public health preparedness capability. 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.
