BP1-17 LHD Work Plan – Deliverable 15.1
All non-CRI jurisdictions are required to build upon the BP5 MCM ORR results through the development and implementation of quarterly action plans to mitigate areas for improvement. Each jurisdiction should be developing an MCM Action Plan that outlines 3-5 action items and associated activities that it intends to build upon over the course the current budget period. Submission of the Quarter 1 Action Plan is due by September 29, 2017. Action Plan templates are available on the MIHAN in the following folder: Local Health > EPC GENERAL > PHEP BP1 (2017-2018). Contact Jason Smith at smithj20@michigan.gov with questions.
The DEPR SNS staff are gauging LHD’s interest in the creation of and participation in a work group to address emerging topics related to emergency medical countermeasures. Meetings would occur on a monthly basis, providing an opportunity to discuss a myriad of topics ranging in scope from program development to exercise design/development. EPCs interested in participating in the proposed State/Local Medical Countermeasure Work Group should contact Jason Smith at smithj20@michigan.gov.
Below are the presentation materials from the July 13, 2017 EPC call:
Courtney Davis has left the EPC position at the Kalamazoo Health and Community Services Department. Lynne Norman (ldnorm@kalcounty.com) is filling in until a replacement is hired.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the Emergency Preparedness Rule Interpretive Guidance. Because the individual regulations for each specific provider and supplier share a majority of standard provisions, CMS developed the Appendix Z- Emergency Preparedness for All Provider and Certified Supplier Types Interpretive Guidance to provide consistent guidance and survey procedures in a single document. Additional information can also be found on the CMS website under the Downloads section.
On July 27, 2017 from 11:00-12:00 PM ET, Linda Langston, Director of Strategic Relations for the National Association of Counties, will be presenting on tips for effectively working with local officials, understanding a local perspective, and what can be done to help people in the aftermath of a disaster to facilitate effective community recovery. Stories will be presented from the Cedar Rapids, Iowa, floods that occurred in 2008.
To participate, sign in as a guest to the Adobe Connect meeting room on the day/time of the meeting. For audio, dial (877) 765-6156, PIN 4232283. No pre-registration is required.
In 2013, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened an expert committee to develop an approach to disaster recovery that can mitigate the impacts of disasters on health and promote healthy communities.
The Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities after Disasters: A Discussion Toolkit takes that committee's conceptual framework and turns it into an operational guidance document. It is designed to ensure appropriate preparation for planning, hosting, and following up after a community meeting. It contains step-by-step instructions and tips including a sample agenda, document templates (invitation, sign-in sheet, notes, evaluation form), messaging for different sectors, a supplies and set-up checklist, detailed guidance for the facilitator, and participant worksheets and handouts.
