Highlights from the Preparedness and Emergency Response Research and Learning Centers (8:00am - 5:30pm)
Room: Palos Verdes AB, 4th floor
**The following workshops cost $50 each or $175 for all four sessions.
Session I: Community Preparedness-Related Methods (8:00am - 10:00am)
The first half of the session will feature findings from research to help state and local public health departments strengthen abilities to respond to chemical, radiological, and nuclear (CRN) incidents. Presenters will demonstrate how a novel Web-based decision-making tool, P-AHP, can be used in designing operational exercises for CRN incidents or other emergency events. Participants will learn about P-AHP and its ability to prioritize systematically the interests and objectives of the public health and other stakeholders involved in designing the exercise. In the second half, presenters will discuss the value of using quantitative and qualitative methods together for analyzing and evaluating public health program activities and research. To illustrate the use of these mixed methods, findings from a study to assess local health departments' use of Incident Command System and Emergency Operations Centers during the 2009 H1N1 outbreak will be presented. Practitioners and researchers will learn how to use these methods and reflect on the strengths, weaknesses, and challenges of each and strategies for combining them for program evaluations.

Participants will learn about the communication strategies, e.g., bi-directional communication, and partnering relationships healthcare providers, including pharmacy providers, preferred by public health agencies related to vaccine administration. Presentations will also feature examples of successful strategies for strengthening community engagement, cooperation, and partnering relationships between local health departments (LHDs) and school systems, and inter-organizational linkages among community partners, and community level environmental health. Participants will learn how these findings can be used to inform best practices for preparedness and response collaborations, and enhance preparedness and response capability and reach among traditional and non-traditional partners cross the public health system.

Participants will learn how the effectiveness and efficiency of scenario-based disaster simulations in Disaster 101 were evaluated and how this training method can be replicated in other institutions using the tools to plan and implement skill modules and simulations. A novel tool for measuring public health response to disasters, the Adaptive Response Metric (ARM), will also be demonstrated. Presenters will present results from a county that applied the ARM in responding to three sets of wild fires in rapid succession and participate in a simulated disaster.

Radiation Emergency Preparedness: Tackling Radiation Threats and Building Response Capacities (8:30am - 5:30pm)
Room: Huntington ABC, 4th floor
** The following workshops are $50 each.
Session I: Radiation Basics for Public Health Responders (8:30am - 10:30am)
Following a large-scale radiation emergency, the affected population will need to be monitored for radioactive contamination, provided assistance with decontamination, and registered for subsequent follow-up. These activities involve multiple local response agencies, including public health, and are part of a process collectively referred to as population monitoring. This interactive workshop will provide an overview of radiation hazards using hands-on demonstrations and review critical components of radiological and nuclear preparedness for public health officials.

Session II: After Fukushima: Working Together to Tackle the Radiation Threat (10:30am - 12:30pm)
The 2011 crisis at the Japanese Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant brought radiological preparedness to the forefront of Americans' minds, demonstrating strengths and areas for improvement in communications, messaging, screening, and technical capacities. The crisis not only tested the ability of the US to respond to the consequences of the event itself; it also raised the question "Is the US ready for a similar event on our own shores?" The National Alliance for Radiation Readiness (NARR) is a coalition of public health, healthcare, and emergency management organizations that are working to answer, "Yes." This sharing session will be led by the NARR leadership to gather input from preparedness professionals on what is needed to move the country forward in radiological preparedness while highlight the tools and resources that are available via the NARR.

Session III: Response Strategies for Radiation Emergencies (1:30pm - 5:30pm)
The reactor core meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear power station in Japan and the ongoing threat of radiological and nuclear terrorism has generated an increased emphasis on radiological preparedness in the U.S. While many communities in the U.S. are prepared to respond to natural disasters, chemical releases, and biological threats, few are prepared to respond to radiation emergencies.
This session will provide an overview of response strategies for communicating with the public, conducting population monitoring, and opening shelters for potentially contaminated people.Presenters will identify readily available resources and sources of funding to enhance state and local radiation response capacity.
