Public health crisis response cooperative agreement - purpose: the activities outlined in this public health crisis response application are designed to ensure rapid mobilization and response to public health emergencies, focusing on threatened or impacted jurisdictions in ohio. The work plan addresses the planned activities of a public health disaster that will be rapidly executed based upon the response scenario. The workplan aims to improve response activities, reduce morbidity and mortality, and enhance the response system in ohio. The emergency response plan (ERP) is the plan that documents our department wide response actions, including coordination and integration during an incident that requires the state level response or the engagement of the CDC and/or aspr. Outcomes: • ODH will have the earliest possible activation and management of emergency operations upon notification of a public health crisis. • ODH will have the earliest possible identification and investigation of an incident/index case (if applicable to the public health crisis response). • ODH will have timely implementation of intervention and control measures (as applicable to the public health crisis response). • ODH will have timely communication of risk and essential elements of information by partners upon notification of a public health crisis. • ODH will have timely coordination and support of response activities with healthcare and other partners upon notification of a public health crisis. • ODH will demonstrate and improve response outcomes during a public health crisis. • ODH will document public health crisis response progress through measuring performance across the response period.
