Why attend

Public health practitioners have a key role and responsibility post-disaster recovery planning. 

However, a Work Package 8 report on training needs  identified low capacity in countries participating in the SHARP Joint Action for:

  • Planning for emergency preparedness and the response mechanism
  • National health emergency frameworks

Low capacity is an indicator of risk should member states need to activate a post disaster recovery plan. Check to see a country / EU regional breakdown of low IHR capacity in National health emergency frameworks
