Chemical incidents are low probability but high impact events. In an effort to support local health department members in preparing for and responding to chemical emergencies, NACCHO is pleased to announce that the ChemPrep Connect Virtual Community is now open to all local health department staff.
ChemPrep Connect is a dedicated virtual community designed to empower local health departments (LHDs) in preparing for and responding to chemical incidents. ChemPrep Connect offers LHD staff a secure platform to collaborate and discuss monthly topics with one another, share best practices and resources, seek peer advice, and raise questions to a network of public health professionals who understand the unique demands of chemical incident planning, and enhance their readiness for chemical emergencies.
To log-in to the Virtual Community platform you will need to use your free MyNACCHO account credentials and be affiliated with a local health department. If you have any problems accessing the ChemPrep Connect Virtual Community, please make sure your LHD affiliation is correctly listed under the organization field in the ‘My Information’ section or email [email protected] with your name, LHD affiliation, and role to be properly added to our system.
