What agencies are involved in the local preparedness and response effort?
• Locally, we need the ability to accept the SNS package and conduct a mass prophylaxis clinic for the entire population of Bartholomew County.> • Bartholomew County has a population of 72,000, which consists of several special populations, such as non English speakers, homebound, homeless, etc. • Many organizations, professionals, and volunteers will need to work together to ensure that everyone has access to prophylaxis in a public health emergency. • Operational and medical staff will directly conduct the clinic, but support staff will perform functions such as traffic/crowd control, waste management, public works, and provision of food and drink. • District planning addresses concerns such as interoperability among counties and acquisition of resources that may be exhausted or unavailable locally.
