ALDPH’s “Utilizing Government Resources in a Disaster” - The
expectation in emergencies is that all citizens affected in the disaster area
receive prompt appropriate care. Hurricane Katrina caused extensive and
severe damage over the southeastern United States, including the entire
Mississippi Gulf Coast on August 29, 2005. Federal disaster declarations
blanketed 90,000 square miles of the United States, including 49 counties
in Mississippi. Hurricane Katrina has been classified as the worst
natural disaster to affect the United States to date.
This presentation will provide valuable information, facts, and lessons
learned from Katrina that will help all states with future disasters.
Conference faculty are emergency management professionals that will provide
insight from both a public health and planning perspective. They will
also provide an overview of the state's role and federal role in both planning
and response activities; discuss valuable documents such as the Stafford Act,
National Response Plan, and Concept of Operations; and assets available to
assist with emergency healthcare needs.
Program Objectives:
- Explain what happens when a state declares a state of emergency.
- Describe how the Federal ESF 8 function interacts with the State ESF 8 function.
- List the Federal ESF 8 assets that are available to states with declared emergencies.
- Explain the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act – or Stafford Act – and how it assists impacted disaster areas.
- Describe the authority for the National Response Plan and how it works
- Define the Federal ESF 8’s Concept of Operators.

1100-1300: Cities Readiness Initiative: A National Priority - The Cities Readiness Initiative (CRI) is a program to aid cities in increasing their capacity to deliver medication and medical supplies during a large-scale public health emergency, such as a bioterrorism attack. This initiative focuses on a very specific element of preparedness – the ability to distribute medication to a population in a specified time period. CRI is a collaborative, multi-jurisdictional effort between local, state, county, and federal authorities that transcends jurisdictional boundaries. CRI began in 2004 with 21 pilot cities, expanded in 2005 to 36 cities, and increased in 2006 to 72 cities, allowing the program to extend into all 50 states. This broadcast is designed to give an overview of CRI for preparedness planners and city officials. This program will serve as the CRI Executive Brief and will be archived both on the internet and in CD ROM and VHS format for future viewing. A question and answer session will enable participants nationwide to pose questions to panelists.
Program Objectives: Upon successful completion of the program, participants will be able to:
Define the Cities Readiness Initiative (CRI)
Describe the roles of the United States Postal Service and the United States Marshals Service in CRI
State two goals for city planners participating in CRI
Describe how CRI funding is determined
Describe the assessment process for cities involved in CRI

1400-1500 ET: Agro-Terrorism; Animal Diseases - The potential for a major foreign animal disease or an emerging animal disease to occur in the US is a serious threat, whether it occurs naturally, accidentally, or is caused by and intentional act of agroterrorism. Emergency management for animal disease outbreaks involves mitigation, preparedness, prevention, response and recovery to prevent economic losses to animal industries and devastating sociologic, emotional and economic effects on communities. This program will focus on the epidemiology and biosecurity of endemic livestock diseases and potential threats of foreign animal diseases.
Program Objectives:
1. Understand the difference between foreign and emerging animal diseases.
2. Recognize livestock diseases that have the potential to be a threat to human health.
3. Identify the roles of agencies involved in minimizing the threat of these diseases..
