Emergency Alert Resources

In times of emergency, it is important to have reliable sources of information to find out what you need to know, when you need to know it. These are sources that can be counted on for up-to-date information.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Clinician Registry for Terrorism and Emergency Response Updates and Training Opportunities -- The CDC has set up a free registry to provide clinicians with real-time information to help prepare for (and possibly respond to) terrorism and other emergency events. Participants will receive regular e-mail updates on terrorism and other emergency issues and on training opportunities relevant to clinicians.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Health Alert Network -- This project's aims are to ensure that each community has rapid and timely access to emergent health information, a cadre of highly-trained professional personnel and evidence-based practices and procedures for effective public health preparedness, response and service at all times.
Homeland Security Advisory System -- This site contains actionable information about an incident involving, or a threat targeting, critical national networks or infrastructures or key assets. It relays newly developed procedures that, when implemented, can significantly improve security or protection. It also includes inofrmation on changes in readiness posture, protective actions or responses.
