New PHEP Strategic Planning Resource: PHEP Capabilities Planning Guide Self-Assessment Tool
The PHEP Capabilities Planning Guide (CPG) Self-Assessment Tool is now available for use by local and Tribal public health partners. This is an optional resource that local and Tribal public health staff can use to self-assess their organization’s PHEP program across all 15 CDC Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response capabilities. The tool is designed to help local and Tribal public health agencies set strategic priorities, inform objectives, and identify capability gaps at the local and Tribal levels. Local and Tribal public health staff can find this tool under “PHEP Strategic Planning Tools” on the PH Preparedness page of the PCA Portal.

The existing Local and Tribal Preparedness Staff Onboarding Checklist has been updated to include additional resources and updated links.
