摘要:What is already known about this topic? Human services organizations and faith-based organizations have a long history of engagement in public health issues and can contribute to building community disaster preparedness. What is added by this report? New York City (NYC) organizations that participated in community preparedness program training had significantly increased odds of having plans for continuity of operations, emergency management, volunteer management, and emergency communication than did those that did not participate in training. What are the implications for public health practice? The NYC community preparedness program can serve as a model for other health departments considering training community-based organizations to support community preparedness for responding to public health disasters.
