Project Highlight: Public Health Preparedness
Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Tabletop Exercises
Client: Centers for Disease Control and Preventions: Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ) and Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion (DHQP)
This project is the second phase of the “Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) Preparedness Tabletop Exercise” project completed in FY 2004.
Using experience gained and lessons learned from developing the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) Preparedness Table Exercise, ORISE is developing a Web-based needs assessment to identify additional training needs related to communicable diseases.
ORISE will then use the assessment to develop and conduct tabletop exercises at pre-selected U.S. cities.
The exercises will target airport stakeholders, healthcare stakeholders, and public health and other stakeholders. Individual after-action reports for each city will be developed and distributed to all participants.
