Abstract:
The Emergency Public Health Planning Workshop demonstrated that national with different backgrounds, capabilities, knowledge bases, and concepts of operations can work together to develop complementary emergency public health plans. Results of the First Responder Emergency Medical Workshop demonstrated that, despite having similarly inconsistent backgrounds, emergency responders can develop complementary response protocols. Lectures presented in both workshops are now available in the public domain. They can be used to improve regional public health emergency capabilities whether the region considered is local, state, or international.
