Community-Based Planning
Preparing for a public health crisis resulting from an infectious disease or large-scale radiological incident requires not only government involvement, but also participation from the communities in which they serve.
The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) helps empower community organizations and government agencies by engaging them in preparedness planning and strategy development.
