Goals and Objectives:
|
The goal of this web-based toolkit is to provide tools and information to support local health departments (LHD) in working collaboratively with community partners to connect and communicate so that no one group is disproportionately affected in an emergency.
The objectives of this toolkit are to help local health departments:
• Incorporate vulnerable and at-risk populations in all aspects of emergency planning
• Increase your knowledge of how to build relationships with non-traditional partners including those who serve vulnerable populations
• Increase your understanding of the methods to engage the community around emergency preparedness issues
• Increase your awareness of the need to effectively and accurately translate materials

Product Description:
|
Every community is made up of diverse groups of residents with varied and sometimes complex everyday needs. Is your community prepared to handle those needs so that no resident is left behind? Meeting the Needs of Vulnerable Populations: Equity in Emergency Preparedness is a web toolkit that will help you organize, communicate and connect with your community.
The toolkit can provide you with the following:
• Case study examples
• Strategic planning, training & checklists
• Public engagement resources
• Message development tools
• ...and more!
Contents: This Web-based toolkit is broken down into six topic areas including an introduction to public health perspective on vulnerable populations, planning considerations, knowing your audience, building relationship with key stakeholders, a case study in other vulnerable populations work going on around the country and an in depth resources page to help further advance your planning efforts.
