Program Description:
Dr. Lasker's study identifies two important benefits that communities can gain by giving their residents an influential role in preparedness planning. The first is the development of plans for protecting many more people and the second benefit relates to trusting the official instructions by being part of this planning process.
There will be a live panel discussion immediately following Dr. Lasker's presentation. The Panel members consist of Dr. Lasker, Steve Morse, Ph.D., Center for Public Health Preparedness, Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University; and Glenn Paulson, Ph.D., Sc.D., (Hon), Director, New Jersey Center for Public Health Preparedness, UMDNJ School of Public Health.
Objectives:
At the conclusion of the presentation, the participants will be able to:
- Describe the methods used for collecting information from the public about terrorism planning.
- Understand the reasons for likely non-compliance of population segments with "top-down" preparedness planning.
- Support the local planning processes by more accurately reflecting concerns and limitations of the affected public.
Who Should Attend:
National audience of state and local public health professionals and their partners (e.g., healthcare professionals, EMS personnel, law enforcement, media representatives, etc).
