NACCHO has provided the following HSEEP-compliant tools and resources for use in evaluation of activities related to the H1N1 response through After Action Reports (AAR).

NACCHO has provided answers to frequently asked questions on the process of creating an HSEEP-compliant AAR. For additional information, please email H1N1info@naccho.org.
