Explore your community and find an advertisement that represents helping community members be prepared for a disaster.
Examples could be a billboard, poster at a bus stop, marquee sign, flyer, yard sign and more. Example: Sign advertising ‘free’ flu vaccinations at a local pharmacy. Communities and Disaster Preparedness Discussion

- Settings:
Correctional facilities
- Home health
- Schools
Forensic areas
- Hospice
Faith communities
- Occupational health
Analyze at least one nursing role (refer to Week 6 lesson) related to disaster preparedness in that setting. Example: In the school setting, what actions and interventions would be involved with the nurse as coordinator of disaster preparedness? Communities and Disaster Preparedness Discussion
- Identify at least one key stakeholder related to the setting that a CHN could collaborate with regarding disaster preparedness. Include why this collaboration is important.

- This flyer image is from the Prince William Health Department regarding the monkeypox vaccination in the community. For those who are interested in receiving the vaccine, they would either go to the website listed or scan the QR code shown in image to fill out the redcap survey. Once the survey questions are answered and submitted, the public health nurse at the health department would reach out to the client if eligible, to schedule the client for an appointment. This image impacts preparedness for the community as the health department is vaccinating a variety of different clients especially those who are considered high risk. It further prevents the spread of monkeypox and protects the community as a whole.
- A community setting that this effects is the health department. As there has been a surge of clients requesting for the vaccine, the health department has been overwhelmed with the requests that have been coming through. The eligibility criteria has been changing on the daily, therefore one day a client could not be eligible but they could, the next day. Also with the limited amount of vaccines that are available, the screening process is critical as it determines who may receive a subcutaneous route dose or a intradermal route dose, in which yields 1 dose verses 5 doses. A nursing role that could assist with this disaster is having the vaccine available at other healthcare provider locations such as hospitals, urgent care centers, doctors offices and etc to administer the vaccine versus only having it available at the health department.
- Collaborating with other community partners with nurses like colleges, high schools or community centers to set up moneybox vaccination clinic events would be important. This is important not only because it would alleviate the surge of clients that the health department is getting but it allows there to be greater access to the vaccine. It would also provide more time for education and getting the word out to the community.
