How can I learn about preparing for public health emergencies?
The Iowa Department of Public Health, local public health departments, hospitals and emergency medical services sponsor the Protect Iowa Health campaign. Protect Iowa Health educates Iowans about the importance of personal preparedness and the role of public health during emergencies. The Protect Iowa Health guidebook is available for Iowans and includes checklists on what to include in an emergency supply kit and a family communications plan; as well as, information on immunizations, quarantine and isolation, disease monitoring, the Strategic National Stockpile, and the psychological affects of a public health emergency. To request a copy of the free guide call 1-866-339-7906 or log onto www.protectiowahealth.org.
