Earthquakes, flooding, natural disasters and severe weather are inevitable. The new Environmental Health and Emergency Preparedness website offers a host of resources to help professionals and communities prepare for such extraordinary events, especially as they affect homeless and other hard to reach populations. Created by the Society for Public Health Education’s (SOPHE) National Environmental Health Promotion Network (NEHPN), the website will help better prepare and educate communities before disaster strikes and cope with such enduring events.
Designed for access by community health professionals, educators and others working in environmental health and disaster preparedness, the website is available at: http://www.sophe.org/EHEP/index.cfm. It can also be accessed through www.sophe.org under Programs and Initiatives.
Organizers say the website addresses a critical need. “In a needs assessment conducted with health educators, 53% of respondents indicated they did not have enough training in health education for emergencies, especially crises and emergency risk communication ,” said Elaine Auld, MPH, MCHES, chief executive officer at SOPHE. “We need to do a better job of not only framing the emergency messages, but also capitalizing on new technologies of transmitting these messages, such as cell phones and social media.”
Health educators are vital linkages in schools, worksites, and communities seeking to better educate the public about preparedness and environmental health. “Health education specialists have a valuable role to play when they inform individuals about environmental threats and help them prepare,” said Auld. “This site provides professionals more ways to become engaged and equipped to address environmental health and emergencies that impact all of our lives.”
Information on the site will be continually updated and is organized in the Resources tab under four categories: training in environmental health, emergency preparedness, community health education and risk communication. Success stories, lessons learned and tools and resources will be shared on the NEHPN blog, which streams through the site.
NEHPN and the website are funded at SOPHE through a cooperative agreement with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
