Project Public Health Ready
Project Public Health Ready (PPHR) is a competency-based training and recognition program that assesses preparedness and assists local health departments, or groups of local health departments working collaboratively as a region, to respond to emergencies. It builds preparedness capacity and capability through a continuous quality improvement model. The PPHR criteria are the only known national standards for local public health preparedness and are updated annually to incorporate the most recent federal initiatives. Each of the three PPHR project goals—all-hazards preparedness planning, workforce capacity development, and demonstration of readiness through exercises or real events—has a comprehensive list of standards that must be met in order to achieve PPHR recognition. Vision: Local health departments will be fully integrated into the response community and prepared to respond to any emergency. Showcases all 270 LHDs in 26 states that have been recognized as meeting the PPHR requirements. More » Click here to find out if your agency is eligible to apply for PPHR recognition.
