Dan Barnett, MD, MPH, training specialist, Johns Hopkins Center for Public Health Preparedness, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Description
Public health workers need to understand and implement basic concepts of personal preparedness planning so that they can function effectively as public health emergency responders in a post-9/11 world. These basic preparedness strategies can be applied to meet a broad range of public health emergency response challenges, including—but not limited to—acts of terrorism. Personal Preparedness Planning provides a practical introduction to these concepts that is tailored to the needs of public health responders and their families.
