(ORR).
Mission

To provide ATSDR and CDC with advice regarding
public health studies and activities relating to
people who may have been exposed to radioactive
and chemical emissions from the ORR.
Goals and Objectives:
The Goals are the broad statements
of how we will achieve the Mission.
The Objectives identify the
measurable ways in which the Goals are achieved.
Goals:
To provide informed recommendations to ATSDR on the
public health evaluation of contaminants of concern (COC)
released by the ORR.
Objectives:
- Identify any situations likely to have exceeded
the established minimum risk levels of
concern.
- Evaluate information regarding COCs potentially
impacting communities surrounding the
ORR and the potential public health effects of
exposure.
- Generate a bibliography of materials used
to evaluate each COC.
Goals:
To provide informed recommendations to ATSDR
on the health needs of the public resulting from
exposure to COCs.
Objectives:
- Hold Focus Groups and Availability Sessions
to gather information on the health needs of
the public.
- Ensure that each issue/concern is captured
in ATSDR's Concerns Database.
- Use information
in the Concerns Database
and any provided
in public forums to collect
additional health
needs of residents.
- Identify public health issues,
health education needs, and health care resources
(both available and needed).
Goals:
To ensure that the results of public health activities
are made available to the ORR community in a timely
and understandable manner.
Objectives:
- Develop audience-specific programs to communicate
findings back to the public.
- Use community groups/resources already in
place (e.g., Senior Centers, churches, community
centers, 4-H clubs, school groups, YWCA, court
houses, etc.) to communicate our findings.
