KEY PLANNING PRINCIPLES
Planning for the wide range of potential response measures necessary for workforce redeployment is challenging. The following planning principles were a helpful foundation for our Public Health Workforce Activation planning process. The initial planning principles included:
- Public Health cannot take on emergency response roles that do not fit into its expertise.
- Public Health employees are notified of the potential of job reassignment during an emergency through appropriate communication channels.
- All divisional constituents are consulted prior to the finalization of preparedness response plans.
- Principles of National Incident Management Systems (NIMS) Incident Command System (ICS) are considered during the planning process.
