CPHP launches new online course entitled Special Medical Needs Shelters

The University at Albany Center for Public Health Preparedness is proud to announce the launching of a brand new online course entitled "Special Medical Needs Shelters."

The goal of this course is to provide an overview of special medical needs shelters, including opening and closing procedures, triage and admission processes, shelter operations, health and safety issues, and planning considerations.

This course is intended for anyone who may volunteer or be assigned to work in a special medical needs shelter during a disaster response, as well as local and state government employees and local leaders who may be involved with planning such a shelter.
