The Honorable, The Legislature:
The Department of Health Services is pleased to submit to you and the Legislature the report on Preparedness of the Wisconsin Public Health System to Respond to Public Health Emergencies. This report was prepared by the Department of Health Services, Division of Public Health, as required by s.250.03(3)(b) of Wisconsin Statues.
Wisconsin's Public Health Preparedness Program continues to strengthen preparedness through planning, workforce competency development training, and exercises to assure not only individual agency response capability, but also strong coordination of regional and statewide responses. Highlights of the Pubic Health Preparedness Report include:
S242
• Extensive pandemic influenza planning, purchase of antiviral medication and the exercise of plans for disease containment.
• Planning for Wisconsin's Special Populations with statewide expert input on a toolkit for local public health agencies.
• The activation of the Wisconsin Emergency Assistance Volunteer Registry (WEAVR) to connect health care professional resources in a disaster.
• Testing, evaluating and improving emergency response to public health emergencies, terrorism and mass casualty events at the State, regional, local and tribal level.
These successes reflect sustained progress as well as exciting enhancements to Wisconsin's readiness to prevent, detect, investigate, control and recover from a public health event.
Sincerely,
karen e. timberlake
