Two MOUs

Keywords / Description:

These two documents serve different functions for the health department. The fist explains the need for prophylaxis and requests the needed Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) medications for jails and detention centers, especially to the employees. The second is an agreement between the health department and the local pharmacy that describes responsibilities of both during an emergency situation. These documents serve as useful examples of issues health departments may not have yet pursued for emergency planning and can be used as templates for developing similar responses during emergencies.

These two Word documents can be downloaded from this website.
