This program, originally broadcast on November 6, 2003 from the University at Albany's Center for Public Health Preparedness, provides the necessary steps for establishing a regional approach to managing public health emergencies. It addresses the roles and responsibilities of various agencies that are necessary for the coordination of a community-wide response to an act of terrorism. Now more than ever, the integrated efforts of public health, hospitals, law enforcement and emergency management services are needed to reach the level of preparedness needed to respond to a terrorist event.
Joel E. Ackelsburg, MD, MPH, who serves as the Medical Director, Emergency Readiness and Response at the NYC Health Department, speaks about the critical elements pertaining to multi-agency collaboration and preparedness. Robert G. Westphal, MD, MPH, Clinical Assistant of Epidemiology and Director for the Center for Public Health Preparedness, University at Albany School of Public Health, moderates.
