Management and Administration of Public Health System
CEN630The terrorist attack in New York City on September 11, 2001 was a catalyst for significant changes in emergency management nationwide. This tragic event spurred conversations and vigilant efforts at the local, state, and national levels on being prepared in the face of an emergency. Consequently, through new technology, heightened training, and increased interagency collaborations, the nation is, arguably, more prepared for a disaster than it ever has been before.
Select a health department and respond to the following questions regarding advancement in emergency preparedness:
- How has emergency preparedness changed since the September 11, 2001 attacks?
- How do you think the roles and responsibilities of local health departments in emergency preparedness should relate to national efforts?
- Describe the emergency preparedness efforts of your local health department or a health department of your choice. Support your responses using information from the department's website or other published materials.

- Identify sources of data used to plan and prepare for emergencies.
