Tribal Legal Preparedness Project

The Tribal Legal Preparedness Project (TLPP) has been established to assist Tribal Nations interested in expanding their legal preparedness capacity. Since 2016, TLPP has engaged Tribal Nations around the country to enhance Tribal legal preparedness capacity. Four online micro modules specific to Tribal legal preparedness were developed in 2017, as well as a Resource Library with relevant emergency preparedness materials.

Centers for Disease Control & Prevention Online Technical Resource and Assistance Center (On-TRAC)

CDC developed the Online Technical Resource and Assistance Center (On-TRAC) to provide health departments with a secure, user-friendly platform for requesting technical assistance from CDC subject matter experts on public health preparedness.

Medical Reserve Corp (MRC)

The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is a national network of volunteers, organized locally to improve the health and safety of their communities. MRC volunteers include medical and public health professionals, as well as community members without healthcare backgrounds. MRC units engage these volunteers to strengthen public health, improve emergency response capabilities and build community resiliency. They prepare for and respond to natural disasters, such as wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, and floods, as well as other emergencies affecting public health, such as disease outbreaks. Some examples of activities that MRC volunteers participate in and support include:
