This module provides an engaging educational experience that simulates field-based decisions related to environmental health issues for two scenarios: a major flood and a chemical spill caused by a train derailment.

This web-based training course focuses on the role of environmental health professionals in emergency preparedness.

Divided into two modules, “Emergency Preparedness and Response Fundamentals” and “Putting Principles into Practice,” this course addresses basic environmental health concepts important to front-line staff with years of experience as well as those new to the field.

This toolkit bundles together three of the APC’s environmental health resources: the Emergency Preparedness and Response Fundamentals training module, the Disaster Strikes – Environmental Health Responds: Stories from the Field training module, and the Emergency Handbook for Food Managers.
