A basic crisis and emergency risk communication (CERC) course is available on the MI-TRAIN website (Course ID 1122559). This course was developed by the University of Minnesota and is recommended for anyone looking for an awareness level course.
NACCHO, in partnership with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), has published new Chemical Preparedness Tabletop Exercise Toolkits designed to assist local health departments (LHDs) in enhancing capability and awareness of their roles and responsibilities during chemical emergencies. There are two toolkits, one designed for large or urban LHDs, and the other designed for small or rural LHDs. All resources are modeled after the Homeland Security Exercise Evaluation Program (HSEEP) resources.
The Chemical Preparedness Handbook is designed to assist local health departments in creating effective public health emergency preparedness and response plans for low-probability, high-risk chemical incidents. This handbook offers a framework for developing a chemical preparedness plan, including recommended content and key subject areas.
The next Preparedness Lunch and Learn will be held on February 17, 2026.
Presenter: Carrie Anglewicz - State Training Officer - MDHHS Bureau of Laboratories
