The assessment provides a well-designed and organized template for conducting a risk assessment based on CDC Public Health Preparedness Capability 1 functions. The template guides users through identifying and ranking hazards and their impacts, agency mitigation activities, and community mitigation roles. The layout of the template and the way it communicates risk and mitigation make it ideal both for agency assessment and community outreach. The assessment was developed via an advisory committee and workgroups and thus is expertise-based rather than data-driven. This tool was identified through NACCHOs Resource Portfolio Project on the CDC Public Health Preparedness Capabilities. Through this project, NACCHO worked with the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) to identify, research, and validate tools, practices, and products that can assist LHDs to address challenges in meeting select PHEP capabilities.
