Our research on public health preparedness modeling is funded directly by the Montgomery County, Maryland, Advanced Practice Center for Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response. This APC is one of eight APCs supported by the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO). On the NACCHO web site is a map of the eight APCs, all of which are developing useful tools for public health emergency planners and information to share with the entire community.
A review of the APCs’ accomplishments shows that staffing during a disaster response is a common theme. The Seattle-King County (Washington) APC has developed plans for activating workforce to respond to a disaster. The Santa Clara County (California) APC is working on plans to use medical volunteers to increase response capacity. The Dekalb County (Georgia) APC has plans to use graduate students.
