This one-hour webinar explores how to use One Health collaborations to enhance investigation capacity for One Health issues facing public health, such as vector-borne diseases and zoonoses driven by wildlife diversity, socioeconomic disparities, and extreme weather events. Speakers provide an overview of a comprehensive One Health Toolkit, which addresses the need to outline and document partner roles and responsibilities, and aims to strengthen existing collaborations, foster communication, and enhance capacity for routine investigations and emergency preparedness purposes; discuss how the toolkit helped with a plague investigation; and explore implications of this toolkit for other local health departments.
