Source: Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR). Published: 9/19/2019. This toolkit can guide public health professionals when a disaster or other emergency strikes, and state, local, tribal and territorial health authorities have immediate information needs. They may need to know how many people were exposed to hazardous agents (chemical, radiological, nuclear, biological, or other hazardous agent), and if they are experiencing symptoms or have any immediate needs. The toolkit can guide public health professionals toward the next practical steps, which may include developing a health registry. (Text)
