Rural Health Information Hub (RHIhub) – New Rural Emergency Preparedness Response Toolkit
Please visit the RHIhub to see the Rural Emergency Preparedness and Response Toolkit that may be of value to you and your organization.
Emergency planning, response, and recovery has never been more important for rural communities, healthcare providers, and other stakeholders and organizations with an interest in rural health. This toolkit describes unique considerations and issues rural populations face when responding to disasters and public health emergencies but also the strengths and assets they can leverage to support their emergency preparedness efforts. This new toolkit was developed in collaboration with the NORC Walsh Center for Rural Health Analysis. It compiles evidence-based and promising models and resources to support organizations implementing emergency planning, response, and recovery efforts in rural communities across the United States.
All resources on the RHIhub website are available without charge.
