The goal of public health emergency preparedness is to protect the health and safety of the population by reducing the impact of the emergency.]]> 2023-04-13 23:06:13 UTC https://padlet.com/nmillien2018/8syza5tcb3dt2r2y/wish/2553764414 nmillien2018 https://padlet.com/nmillien2018/8syza5tcb3dt2r2y/wish/2553765461

Planning: Developing and updating emergency response plans, identifying potential hazards, and assessing the resources needed to respond to an emergency.

Surveillance: Monitoring the spread of disease and other potential threats, such as bioterrorism or environmental hazards, to detect and respond to potential outbreaks or emergencies.

Risk Communication: Informing the public about the risks associated with an emergency, the steps they can take to protect themselves and their families, and how to access information and resources.

Response: Coordinating the response efforts of multiple agencies, organizations, and individuals, including healthcare providers, emergency responders, public health officials, and community leaders.

Recovery: Helping affected communities recover from the emergency by providing resources and support for rebuilding and restoring normalcy.

Training and Exercises: Preparing emergency responders, healthcare providers, and other stakeholders through training and simulation exercises to ensure they are ready to respond effectively in a crisis.

2. In 1999, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) established the “Public Health Preparedness and Response for Bioterrorism Program". 
3. After 911, it became clear that the U.S. was unprepared for a large-scale attack. It exposed the lack of public health infrastructure. 
4. Since the 2001 attack, Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) has decreased over the years.

The Incident Command System (ICS) is a standardized emergency management system used by emergency responders to manage and coordinate response operations during an incident. The system was developed by the United States Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in the 1970s and has since been adopted by emergency management agencies worldwide.

2. 
The ICS provides a standardized organizational structure and set of procedures for managing emergency incidents, regardless of the type, size, or complexity of the incident. The system is designed to facilitate clear communication, coordination, and collaboration among emergency responders and agencies involved in the response.

The ICS follows a hierarchical structure with clearly defined roles and responsibilities for each position. The system includes the following positions:

a. Incident Commander (IC): responsible for overall management of the incident and making strategic decisions.
b. Operations Section Chief: responsible for managing the tactical operations of the incident.
c. Planning Section Chief: responsible for developing the Incident Action Plan (IAP) and managing resources.
d. Logistics Section Chief: responsible for managing the resources necessary to support the incident, such as personnel, equipment, and supplies.
e. Finance and Administration Section Chief: responsible for tracking costs and managing financial resources.
