Committee on Preparedness

The mission of the Committee on Preparedness is to work in collaboration with local, state, and federal public health agencies and others responsible for disaster management on the continuous development and implementation of education, communications, and strategic response plans for the physician community to enhance the health care system's capacity to prevent, prepare for, detect, mitigate, respond to and recover from the consequences of terrorism, natural or man-made disasters, and other health emergencies and protect the health and safety of our patients and our communities.
