NACCHO engages in a variety of communication methods on key public health issues and program information. Our publications store provides access to printed and digital materials that assist local health departments (LHDs) in meeting their community's public health goals. Moreover, NACCHO seeks to engage our members and other public health professionals in conversations about important topics such as H1N1 and health reform. Connect with us and each other using our blog and popular social media tools. NACCHO has received the following guidance from the Department of Health and Human Services, which is participating in the federal relief effort coordinated by the U.S. Agency for International Development/Department of State. All persons and organizations wishing to volunteer time or material for Haitian earthquake relief should register the resources available at www.cidi.org. USAID will be processing requests from the Haitian government and using this database to help fill them as requests are received. At this time, HHS is relying on 12,000 federal personnel from the National Disaster Medical System and Public Health Service, which have been activated, to provide medical and public health assistance and is not seeking volunteers.
