Public health systems A complex network of individuals and organizations including govermental public health agencies, the healthcare delivery system, homeland security and public safety, employers and business, academic, communities, and the media, that must work together to promote public health. 4 Drs.

Tomás Aragón & Erica Pan, PHP/SFDPH Public Health Emergency Preparedness & Response

10 Guiding principles for PHEPR planning Coordinate, manage, and leverage existing grants & DPH preparedness activities Use representative stakeholder advisory board to inform and guide priorities; Address gaps & issues identified during H1N1 response Prioritize capabilities essential in addressing all hazards; Prioritize special needs (vulnerable) populations and communities; Preserve and support existing core public health readiness (infectious disease and environmental health threat readiness, community health response teams, etc.); Build trust through transparency, inclusiveness, responsiveness, and accountability; 10 Drs. Tomás Aragón & Erica Pan, PHP/SFDPH Public Health Emergency Preparedness & Response
