Cross-cutting principle

  • ∙ Development of public health communications that connect people and communities to their health resources and needs before, during and after a disaster

  • ∙ Reduction of health disparities to vulnerable populations as a result of a disaster. An end state should be that every population with similar exposures/incidents have identical health outcomes.

  • ∙ Public health/disaster preparedness as a shared responsibility that starts at the individual and grows to the community/state
