During a public health emergency or natural disaster, treatment centers, such as hospitals, nursing homes, and long-term care facilities, may be taxed beyond their capacities. Additionally, normal supply chains may be compromised, and treatment centers will rely on medications and supplies from the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) to maintain operations as well as respond to the additional burdens of such a disaster. This broadcast will focus on many of the issues facing both public health planners and their local treatment center partners, including the asset request process, apportionment considerations, and training for treatment center managers and employees. State and local SNS planners and health care professionals will share their experiences in developing coordinated plans for an emergency response, demonstrating the importance of strong partnerships between local health care entities and public health during an SNS response.
