Bio-Pack Toolkit (DVD)

Keywords / Description:

This toolkit showcases Montgomery County, Maryland's innovative Bio-Pack program, which pre-positions medications with first responders prior to a public health emergency. This type of program provides first responders with the protection they need to safely respond to a public health emergency. Included is a DVD (requires a media player such as Windows Media Player to play) that incorporates a video used to educate first responders and public health staff on the Bio-Pack program. Part II of the DVD (also requires a media player) is for public health staff considering the option of pre-positioning medications for traditional first responders. A guide for local health departments is also included.
