New Emergency Preparedness Training: LEEP
CDC’s Public Health Law Program, within CDC’s Center for State, Tribal, Local, and Territorial Support (CSTLTS), is delighted to announce the new Law and Epidemic Emergency Preparedness (LEEP) online training. LEEP is a free, self-paced, e-learning course that helps improve understanding of the use of law during a large-scale communicable disease response. The training covers the legal underpinnings of emergency preparedness and response systems, what actions are authorized, and how to minimize legal barriers to an effective large-scale communicable disease response. (For a webinar about LEEP, see below.) Check out the LEEP training.
Law and Epidemic Emergency Preparedness (LEEP) Online Training
State, tribal, local, and territorial health department staff, emergency planners and managers, first responders, and anyone working in response to an epidemic often face complex legal issues when working to stop the spread of a highly infectious communicable disease.
CDC’s free online Law and Epidemic Emergency Preparedness (LEEP) training covers provisions and concepts applicable to epidemic response, including various challenges faced during the 2014 Ebola response, and applies them to future infectious disease emergency response planning.
