Addressing the Intelligence Gaps in Emergency Planning
1-day seminar jointly presented by ScHARR and the Emergency Planning Society
Wednesday 23rd January 2013
Overview
Emergency planning has matured considerably in recent years, galvanised by various threats including terrorism and natural events, and the UK is seen as a world leader in this field. However, it has been previously reported that deficiencies in health emergency planning exist and the evidence-base for this is uncertain.
This study day will cover the latest research findings from a study funded by the National Institute of Health Research exploring the gaps in the evidence-base for health emergency planning. (Lee et al., 2012)
There will also be workshops exploring current emergency planning issues such as
Extreme events
Building community resilience and
the National Decision-making Model
