The Preparedness Summit is the first and longest-running national conference on public health preparedness. Since its beginning in 2007, the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) has taken a leadership role in convening a wide array of partners to participate in the Summit; presenting new research findings, sharing tools and resources, and providing a variety of opportunities for attendees to learn how to implement model practices that enhance the nation’s capabilities to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters and other emergencies.
Over the last decade, the nature of threats to national health security has changed significantly. As professionals in the public health preparedness space, people can expect these threats to continue to evolve. It is imperative that the world adapts to public health practices to meet the demands of an ever-evolving threat environment. But how does the world, as preparedness leaders, help the communities become more prepared to respond to and recover from uncharted catastrophic events? Can start doing so by discovering new and creative solutions to address events like pandemic diseases, the opioid crisis, active shooter emergencies, and cybersecurity threats.
Each year, the Preparedness Summit will feature experts from the healthcare and emergency management fields in addition to public health preparedness professionals to address the gaps between these life-saving industries in an effort to work more collaboratively and efficiently in the face of emerging threats. Reaching across these sectors will leverage the diversity of thought and advance the capacity of our communities to respond to and recover from emergency events. The organization hopes that this conference will provide an opportunity to build stronger partnerships and encourage us to find innovative solutions with the allies.
