Communities across the country face a wide range of public health threats, including those that are rare but potentially devastating, such as chemical or radiological incidents. Preparing for these low-probability, high-impact events requires the right tools, strong partnerships, and a shared commitment to readiness.

That’s why the NACCHO and the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) are teaming up to host a webinar designed to equip public health professionals and emergency planners with practical, ready-to-use resources.
