On January 13th, CHHS teamed up with the District of Columbia's Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency to host the city's first Continuity of Operations (COOP) Planning Summit.
Congratulations to CHHS Senior Law & Policy Analyst Megan Timmins, Exercise and Training Program Director Christina Crue and Senior Law & Policy Analyst Ulka Ghanta. Each of them received a Certificate of Commendation from U.S. Navy Vice Admiral John M.
CHHS coordinated and facilitated the hospital surge portion of 'Capital Shield 2011,' a D.C.-region full-scale exercise that evaluated how dozens of agencies would respond to a simulated terrorist attack. This video features CHHS Exercise Program Manager Christina Crue and CHHS Public Health Program Manager Earl Stoddard, along with moulaged 'mock victims,' and EMS personnel.
This collection of published articles, research, and analysis by CHHS staff covers a myriad of issues and topics relevant to the work of emergency managers, first responders, and public health professionals across the country.
