NHSS Implementation Plan Released
The first National Health Security Strategy Implementation Plan (NHSS IP) was recently released. The NHSS IP is based on the NHSS, which addresses 10 specific strategic objectives for U.S. health security. The tasks mentioned in the plan are meant to serve as models and catalysts for action in communities nationwide. Local health departments, public health agencies, and other community partners are encouraged to initiate and complete the actions in the plan—every individual has a role in national health security. For more information about the NHSS IP, please click here. To view a PDF of the NHSS IP, please click here. Register for these Webinars Today!

A form is now available to capture local health department (LHD) stories from the field and lessons learned during emergency response and recovery efforts. NACCHO encourages LHDs to fill out this form so this information can be used for a variety of outreach strategies including data collection, developing potential newsletter and journal articles, and submitting stories from the field to the media, members of Congress, and other policymakers. PHEP 102 Video Now Available

NACCHO’s preparedness work focuses on activities related to both practice and policy. NACCHO creates new tools and improves existing ones to help local health departments enhance their readiness to respond to public health emergencies and other disasters. NACCHO also serves as a conduit through which local input can reach and effect positive change on national initiatives.
