Checklists on Legal Preparedness for Public Health Emergencies

Many organizations have been working hard to develop checklists for governmental agencies, healthcare providers and non-healthcare businesses to help them prepare for a public health emergency.  We have tried to identify some of the checklists that we believe will be helpful in preparing you to respond when such situations arise.

• Interjurisdictional legal coordination for public health emergency preparedness
• Local government public health emergency legal preparedness and response
• Civil legal liability issues and public health emergencies
• American Bar Association’s Section of State and Local Government Law Task Force on Emergency Management and Homeland Security
