What is Public Health all about?
Public Health - what you might be thinking: Immunizations Diabetes EducationEnvironmental HealthHealth Promotion and Disease Prevention - Epidemiology Maternal and Child Health\WICSchool HealthVital Records
But we are also:Emergency Preparedness
Natural Disasters/Severe Weather Bioterrorism Chemical Emergencies Outbreaks Mass Causalities Radiation Emergencies
Public Health and Preparedness“ Public health emergency preparedness and
response have been defining goals in the Unites States since the terrorist and anthrax attacks in the fall of 2001. The objective of emergency preparedness is to improve the nation’s ability to detect and respond to an array of public health emergencies including bioterrorism, emerging infectious diseases, and natural disasters.”
Public Health is essential but we are the New Kid on the Block!

Pop Quiz - QuestionWhen you go to a restaurant to eat, do you go
into the restaurant, order your food, eat it and then expect some stranger to pay for you?
ORWhen you go camping, do you take off with
just the clothes on your back and expect a stranger to provide food, water, a tent and sleeping bag for you?
Knowing what we know:Why would do people plan and prepare for a
camping trips – during the best of times but during a disaster (the worst of times) show up with just the clothes on their backs?
Would it not be smarter if they entered a “disaster” with everything they need and everything their family and neighbor needed?
Planning - Looks at:Teamwork - cooperative work by groupLeadership - ability to lead: the ability to
guide, direct, or influence peopleAccountability - an obligation or willingness
to accept responsibility Capabilities - range of ability: the potential
ability of somebody or something to do something
Capacities - Ability to perform or produce
Opportunities:Working with in your organizations and your families to get them to understand’ the importance of Disaster Planning.National September is Preparedness Month –
Does your family and agency do something to actively engage your staff? Incentives, drawings, newsletter articles
Do you do something with your family to actively engage them in the planning process at home? Ready.gov
Take advantage of “ah-ha” moments at work and at home
Proper Planning = TEAMWORKPreparedness Planning requires people and
agencies to “think outside of the box”.Not to think about what we do as individuals
or agencies on a daily basis – but how we all fit together within the community.
People and agencies must realize that planning “never really stops” and their “partners” may change constantly as the communities needs change.
Successful Partnering:Developing ALLIES - Foster relationships Knowing WHO the players are in your
community.Who has the expertise?Knowing WHO the key leadership positions
are held by.Who had the resources available?
Never stop and Never give up!
But to balance this equation…
YOU MUST CONSIDER WHO YOUR PARTNERS ARE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE YOUR COMMUNITY!
