The 2015 legal preparedness roadshow: A summer road trip to teach government personnel the basics of public health emergency law
Sunshine GJd , Ransom MJd Mph . ABA Health eSource 2016 12 (9) Planning, simulations, and post-emergency assessments have demonstrated that successful public health emergency response hinges on the effective use of relevant legal authorities for legal preparedness.1 Public health practitioners must have a better understanding of the legal underpinnings of emergency preparedness and response systems, including knowing what actions are authorized and how to minimize liabilities during large-scale public health emergencies.2 In May 2015, the Public Health Law Program (PHLP) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) embarked on a unique effort to train state and local public health personnel on the intricacies of legal issues in emergency preparedness and response over the course of one summer. This course was also offered to CDC staff because knowledge regarding state and local legal issues in emergencies is vital to their ability to work with partners in the field. | By August, PHLP staff had travelled to 11 states and delivered 13 Public Health Emergency Law 4.0 trainings to nearly 550 people. The summer road trip was exciting and enlightening and made the case for providing future public health law trainings. |
