SMALL REMINDERS
One thing we learned the hard way was trying to train before we had a solid plan. Ensure that your plan is complete and that you have assembled all necessary Tools & Samples for use in training as well as during activation.
Stay consistent in the language you use for titles, training categories, job names, etc.
Questions will pop up. In the process of identifying our training needs, many questions arose that needed to be answered in other aspects of the plan development, including how we would free staff from their primary tasks in order to devote time to training.

PRE-EVENT TRAINING VS. JUST IN TIME TRAINING
Advance and "just in time" training will be required. While advance training in many subjects is necessary, it will be equally important that a certain amount of "just in time" training be developed and implemented on an as-needed basis.
PUBLIC HEALTH AS FIRST RESPONDERS
In a large-scale, bioterrorism event or disease outbreak, all Public Health employees are essential employees, and each has a role to play. For a successful public health response, a paradigm shift in the Public Health agency culture and embracing preparedness work as "core" to job functions may be necessary. Learn more about Public Health Paradigm Shift.
Start at the beginning. Many Public Health employees have not had training in basic medical terms and the general principles of communicable disease. Conducting skills assessment will help identify who needs more general training.
