Show Notes
We survived a global pandemic, but did we take away the lessons we needed about emergency preparedness? Trust for America’s Health recently released their annual report called “Ready or Not: Protecting the Public’s Health from Diseases, Disasters, and Bioterrorism”, which measures emergency preparedness by state. Pennsylvania and New Jersey are categorized as high performing, but the report says many other states are not ready to face things like extreme weather, wildfires, or a new disease. We talk with Rhea Farberman, director of strategic communications and policy research at Trust for America’s Health, about the report, what kinds of emergencies we need to think about, and what states need in order to be prepared.
