top ABOUT PUBLIC HEALTH - SKC ADVANCED PRACTICE CENTER
Public Health – Seattle & King County APC is a resource for local public health agencies throughout the nation as it develops plans and builds local and regional capacity for responding to an act of bioterrorism or other public health emergency. PHSKC APC has contributed to the nation’s preparedness through the development of a number of best practice tools for public health departments nationwide. Some of these products include:

The Planning and Managing Isolation & Quarantine Web Toolkit includes tools for putting a plan together, an I&Q response center model, and tabletop exercises for testing your I&Q plan.

An Emergency Risk Communication Course for Public Health Professionals was developed in collaboration with the University of Washington School of Public Health and Community Medicine. This course was designed to provide an introduction to emergency risk communication concepts and principles.

Speak First: Communicating Effectively in Times of Crisis and Uncertainty is a proven, practical training for building the skills to delivering first messages in the early hours of a crisis. Learn what you need to know, to sharpen your skills and to teach others how to master these best practices.

Hello, how may I help you?: Creating and operating a Public Information Call Center is a toolkit to assist public health departments in building capacity to handle a surge in phone calls during an emergency.

Preparing for Pandmic Flu: It's Not Business as Usual offers business engagement outreach template and resources for developing partnerships with the business community around public heath preparedness, specifically pandemic influenza.

The Managing Surge Response and Public Health Workforce Activation Toolkit is a web-based toolkit to guide local public health agencies in development of a response-ready workforce by defining surge functions and matching staff resources to emergent response needs. The purpose of the Toolkit is to help your jurisdiction save time during your planning process by suggesting a planning framework.

We could not have undertaken this process without the support of an Advanced Practice Center Grant from the National Association of City and County Health Officials (NACCHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Advanced Practice Centers (APCs) are local Public Health agencies that are developing best practice tools and resources to help advance preparation, response and recovery in the event of emergency situations. APCs are funded by the National Association of County & City Health Officials (NACCHO), in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Learn more about the Advance Practice work being done across the nation and what additional tools are available to help your local Public Health agency's preparedness efforts.
