NACCHO will be releasing a bi-weekly blog compiling a recent, updated collection of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) resources for our members working at the intersection of environmental health and COVID-19.
In the present moment, and mere days before World Environmental Health Day on September 26, the intersection between climate change and preparedness is, sadly, quite clear.

Today, we see stark examples unfolding across the United States as the nation recognizes National Preparedness Month this...
In May 2020, NACCHO conducted a brief survey to assess local health departments' (LHDs) HIV self-testing capacity and challenges. This is Part 2 in our 'Stories from the Field' series highlighting LHD approaches to implementing self-testing models into practice.
NACCHO released new data documenting the impact of the COVID-19 response on overdose response and prevention activities at LHDs throughout the country.
Resolve to Save Lives joined public health leaders to release the first-ever comprehensive review of the status of COVID-19 information in the United States and outline how states and communities can increase transparency about risk of COVID-19 and accountability for progress.
This letter from NACCHO and other public health partners requests an additional $450 million in the next COVID-19 supplemental package for the Data Modernization Initiative. It also requests Congress include robust language in the next COVID-19 supplemental in support of data modernization at CDC and local and state health departments.

Statement from the National Association of County and City Health Officials, July 15, 2020 Compromising Data Collection Will Further Complicate the U.S. Response to COVID-19
From stigma to clinic closures, there are many reasons why individuals may be unable or unwilling to visit traditional HIV/STI testing facilities during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite current and existing challenges, local health departments (LHDs) continue to work to find solutions so that all people have access to HIV/STI testing.
