Overview:
The possibility of public health emergencies arising in the United States concerns many people in the wake of the recent hurricanes, tsunamis, acts of terrorism, and pandemic influenza. In addition to identifying critical infrastructure and key resources to incorporate in an emergency response plan, it is important to understand the balance between the rights of individuals, legalities for treating patients, and the needs of the community. Please join us for this COCA Call where a CDC subject matter expert will describe state and federal governments' role in preparing for and responding to public health emergencies.
Objectives:
At the conclusion of the session, the participant will be able to accomplish the following:
- Discuss the state and federal governments' role in responding to a public health emergency
- Discuss the underlying legal authorities that permit the government to take specific actions during a public health emergency
- Describe CDC's legal response to specific public health emergencies, including H1N1.
