Public Health Preparedness Technical Assistance

NACCHO is committed to assisting local health departments (LHDs) in their preparedness efforts. NACCHO is always looking for promising efforts by LHDs to surmount challenges in their communities. These stories are told in the E-Link Newsletter, part of our Advanced Practice Centers program, and materials like plans and job action sheets can be shared through EQUIPh and STOCKbox, our searchable clearinghouses containing a range of preparedness tools.

NACCHO has also worked with partners to develop specific resources to help address preparedness challenges, as featured below.

ThreatPREP is a CD-ROM that will help you update your LHD's response plan. ThreatPREP guides your planning and organizes your work. It is an effective way to build a plan and revise and maintain the plan over time.

ThreatPREP can help you plan in areas such as:

• isolation and quarantine
• mass fatality
• NIMS
• After action reporting and more!

NACCHO has developed an online clearinghouse for LHDs that is filled with resources and tools to be used at the local level to enhance public health preparedness. It includes a range of items including tabletop exercises, training videos, and informational fact sheets. Resources are collected by NACCHO staff or submitted online by LHDs and other contributors.
