Article Out Loud - Public Health Answers for Non-Public Health Organizations

An Article Out Loud Flashback from the Domestic Preparedness Journal, October 23, 2013.

Public health is a concern for all citizens, but the preparedness efforts for public health emergencies provide information primarily to that sector. Members of the private sector and/or other “non-public health organizations” should take the additional steps needed to help ensure that continuity of operations plans are in place before a major health emergency develops.

Narrated by Randy Vivian.
