Bioterrorism Training and
Curriculum Development Grant
|
To
equip a workforce of healthcare professionals to address emergency
preparedness and response issues. The goals of this program are
the development of a healthcare workforce that possesses the knowledge,
skills and abilities to: (1) recognize indications of a terrorist
event in their patients; (2) treat their patients and their communities
in a safe and appropriate manner; (3) participate in a coordinated,
multidisciplinary response to terrorist events; and (4) rapidly
and effectively alert the public health system of such an event
at the community, State, and national level. Effective responses
to public health emergencies require close collaboration between,
all types of health professionals involved in patient care including
healthcare providers, medical specialists, the public health infrastructure
and all participants in the emergency response. To achieve such
a collaborative environment, it will be necessary to implement new
models of undergraduate/graduate curricula and continuing education
and training for health professionals that broaden public health
knowledge and ensure that essential multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary
collaborative responses to emergencies will occur. Bioterrorism
Training and Curriculum Development Program will consist of two
discrete foci of activity: 1) Provision of Continuing Education
for Practicing Providers (CE), and 2) Curricular Development in
Health Professions Schools (CR). Each of the categories above must
have a distinct and separate application.

the multi-year contract. Cost
sharing is provided to establish the vegetative cover practices.

State and Local All Hazards
Emergency Operations Planning
|
The
purpose of the S/L Emergency Ops Planning program is to supplement
and assist State and local efforts to prepare themselves to respond
to emergencies or disasters including any that may be caused by
terrorist attacks using conventional means or Weapons of Mass Destruction
(WMD). Such preparedness requires an extraordinary level of inter-service
and inter-jurisdictional planning and coordination. The program
provides grants to the States to encourage the development or updating
of comprehensive, all-hazard emergency management plans by the States
and by local governments. The requisite planning base supports and
promotes efforts to establish lasting working relationships and
facilitates the development of a common incident command system,
general availability of interoperable communications, and effective
mutual aid. In partnership with the Federal Government, strong emergency
management and emergency services organizations at the State and
local levels ensure the continuance of a comprehensive national
emergency management system for disasters or emergencies resulting
from natural disasters or accidental or man-made events.
|
States
are eligible to apply for the assistance under this program. For
purposes of this program and consistent with the Stafford Act, 42

States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands,
Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands. Local governments may receive assistance as subgrantees
to the States in which they are located. The term "local government"
as used in this program has the meaning set forth in the Stafford
Act, 42 U.S.C. 5122(6).
