State, tribal, local, and territorial health department staff, emergency planners and managers, first responders, and anyone working in response to an epidemic often face complex legal issues when working to stop the spread of a highly infectious communicable disease.
In this episode of JPHMP Direct Talk, Gregory Sunshine and Brianne Yassine describe what public health professionals can expect to learn in a new online training course offered by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
CDC’s free online Law and Epidemic Emergency Preparedness (LEEP) training covers provisions and concepts applicable to epidemic response, including various challenges faced during the 2014 Ebola response, and applies them to future infectious disease emergency response planning. LEEP examines legal underpinnings of emergency preparedness and response systems, what actions are authorized, and how to minimize legal barriers to an effective large-scale communicable disease response.
LEEP consists of eight units. Units 1, 2, and 3 provide participants with a foundation in legal issues surrounding law and epidemic emergency preparedness, and units 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 cover specific situations you may encounter during an epidemic.
