PPHR is a national public health emergency preparedness recognition program for local health departments. The goal of the program is to improve the preparedness and response readiness of communities by assessing the quality and performance of public health emergency preparedness programs. Since 2002, approximately 600 LHDs have been recognized as meeting PPHR goals and measures by:
- Maintaining an all-hazards preparedness plan and associated annexes
- Conducting training needs assessments and updating a workforce development plan
- Demonstrating readiness through an exercise or real-world event.
PPHR goals and measures are updated regularly to align with federal guidelines and national initiatives, including:
- CDC Public Health Emergency Preparedness Capabilities (PHEP)
- CDC Operational Readiness Review (ORR)
- Public Health Accreditation Board Standards and Measures (PHAB)
- Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)
- ASPR Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP)
- Emergency Management Accreditation Program (EMAP)
Through this funding opportunity, NACCHO will award up to $350,000 to a consultant or consulting firm to assist NACCHO with the development of four (4) interactive e-learning courses for applicants, state leads, national reviewers, and state reviewers participating in PPHR recognition cycles.
