Community members without medical training can assist with administrative and other essential support functions. 4. U.S. citizenship is not required to be part of the MRC.

Partnership is encouraging everyone to celebrate National Preparedness Month by spreading the word out about emergency preparedness throughout the entire month of September! See the last page of this newsletter for creative and community engaging National Preparedness Month ideas. The Cleveland Cities Readiness Initiative (CRI) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines the Cities Readiness Initiative (CRI) as a federally funded effort to prepare major US cities and metropolitan areas to, effectively, respond to a large-scale bioterrorist event by dispensing antibiotics to their entire identified population within 48 hours of the decision to do so. CRI Successes It has enhanced communication and collaboration across state and local boundaries, resulting in optimal use of shared resources. Local and state planners have identified capability, strengths, and shortcomings through preparedness planning and technical assistance reviews. It makes federal resources available to local areas. Population, geographical location, and potential vulnerability to a bioterrorism threat determine which cities become CRI cities and metropolitan areas (MSAs). For more information about CRI go to t/08/cri.asp. Page 1

The July 30 th conference was held in Eastlake, Ohio at the Radisson Hotel and Suites, and the July 31 st conference was held in Elyria, Ohio at Lorain County Community College s in the Spitzer Conference Center. Conference participants learned how Federal, State, and Local agencies plan to dispense medications to the public during a major public health emergency. The breakout sessions highlighted the following topics: Alternate Dispensing Modalities Hospitals and Treatment Centers First Responders and Security Public Information and the Media According to Matthew Carroll, Director of the Cleveland Department of Public Health, These meetings provide a rare opportunity to learn about preparedness activities underway in Northeast Ohio, and to network with other professionals in the field.

The Northeast Ohio Public Health Partnership is dedicated to preparing Northeast Ohio for all types of emergencies. Cleveland, Ohio CRI MSA EDUCATION AND TRAINING Region V, MRC Regional Meeting By Monique Witherspoon, CDPH Columbus, Ohio was the host city for Region V s regional MRC meeting. The two-day event took place on August 7 th and 8 th. MRC leaders, volunteers, and guests converged to learn, share ideas and experiences. There are 780 MRC units and 165,519 MRC volunteers across the continental U.S. Region V is the largest MRC region in the U.S., and it accounts for 25% of the MRC units nationwide. There are 195 MRC units and 23,000 volunteers in Region V. Region V Coordinator, Melissa Watt, is quite proud of her MRC leaders and volunteers. Melissa stated that her MRC leaders willingness to develop partnerships with various community agencies and local health departments, is a major factor in Region Five s success. Commander Brad Austin, from the Office of Civilian Volunteers, expressed the importance of MRC s volunteer component. According to Commander Austin, volunteerism is the key to Community resiliency before during and after an emergency event. Commander Austin also stated, We [MRC] can t do it without volunteers. Support of local leaders is also a key component in MRC s continued growth and success. When asked what local leaders could possibly do to better support MRC, Jack Herrmann, Public Health Preparedness Senior Advisor with the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), stated that local health officials could help by, finding opportunities to fully integrate MRC in their emergency planning process, and to consider MRC as a vital part of their emergency preparedness resources. Region V includes the following states; Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Workshop participants actively engaged in a discussion. Page 2
