in the cooperative agreement) of the award, whether provided through financial or direct assistance. 
Match may be provided directly or through donations from public or private entities and may be in cash

STRATEGIES AND ACTIVITIES 
 
Domain Strategy 1: Strengthen Community Resilience 
Community resilience is the ability of a community, through public health agencies, to develop, maintain, and utilize collaborative 
relationships among government, private, and community organizations to develop and utilize shared plans for responding to and recovering 
from disasters and public health emergencies. 
 
Associated Capabilities 
 
 
Capability 1: Community Preparedness 
 
Capability 2: Community Recovery 
 
Domain Activity: Determine the Risks to the Health of the Jurisdiction  
Deliverable 
Applies To 
Due Date 
 
Conduct public health jurisdictional risk assessment (JRA), in collaboration 
with HPP, to identify potential hazards, vulnerabilities, and risks within the 
community that relate to the public health, medical, and 
mental/behavioral health systems and the access and functional needs of 
at-risk individuals.  
 
ADHS recommends a collaborative and flexible risk assessment process 
that includes input from existing hazard and vulnerability analyses 
conducted by emergency management, AzCHER and other health care 
organizations, as well as other community partners and stakeholders. 
 
Jurisdictions should analyze JRA results, and use diverse data sources such 
as the HHS Capabilities Planning Guide (CPG), previous risk assessments, 
jurisdictional incident AARs/IPs, site visit observations, jurisdictional data 
from the National Health Security Preparedness Index, and other 
jurisdictional priorities and strategies, to help determine their strategic

Domain Activity: Ensure HPP Coordination (Health Care System) 
 
 
 
 
The purpose of this collaboration is to ensure a shared approach to 
delivering public health services alongside health care services to mitigate 
the public health consequences of emergencies. PHEP resources cannot 
be used to supplant HPP programmatic activities. However, there are 
areas where coordinated planning and collaboration between the 
programs are beneficial, including exercising and training. 
 
Jurisdictions must participate in one statewide or conduct one regional 
full-scale exercise (FSE) within the five-year project period.  Exercises must 
include participation from AzCHER and include, at a minimum, hospitals, 
emergency management agencies, and emergency medical services 
(EMS). 
 
 
Local Jurisdictions must 
participate in one ADHS-
sponsored statewide full-
scale exercise, OR

Domain Activity: Plan for the Whole Community  
 
 
 
 
Working in collaboration with HPP, continue to build and sustain local 
health department and community partnerships to ensure that activities 
have the widest possible reach with the strongest possible ties to the 
community. Local jurisdictions should focus on two activities 
simultaneously:  
 
Coordination with local stakeholders to review collaboration efforts 
with local agencies they represent; and  
 
Engage with key community partners who have established 
relationships with diverse at-risk populations, to include 
mental/behavioral health and pediatric populations. 
 
Develop or expand child-focused planning and partnerships. 
 
Consider family reunification plans for schools and child care centers. 
 
Plan for individuals with disabilities and others with access and functional 
needs. Use a flexible approach to define populations at risk to 
jurisdictional threats and hazards. Address a broad set of common access 
and functional needs using the Communication, Maintaining Health, 
Independence, Services and Support, and Transportation (CMIST) 
framework.  
 
 
AARs and plans should 
provide evidence of a whole 
community approach when 
planning, training and 
exercising.

provide medical countermeasures, including antibiotics and vaccines, to 
the potentially infected populations within 48 hours. Plans should be 
effectively coordinated with state and other local planning partners.  
 
All sub-recipients and CRI jurisdictions must seek subject matter expertise 
and collaborate with health department programs including immunization 
programs and other subject matter experts to update pandemic influenza 
plans to prevent, control, and mitigate the impact on the public’s health. 
Plans should address ways to help meet pandemic vaccination goals for 
the general population and goals targeting vaccination of critical workforce 
personnel:  
 
Determine jurisdictional readiness to vaccinate critical workforce 
personnel with two doses of pandemic influenza vaccine, separated by 
21 days, within four weeks of influenza vaccine availability;  
 
Determine readiness of the jurisdiction's vaccine providers and 
partners to vaccinate at least 80% of the jurisdiction's population with 
two doses of pandemic influenza vaccine, separated by 21 days, within

Capability 13: Public Health Surveillance and Epidemiological Investigation 
Implement processes for using poison control center data for public health 
surveillance. 
Such data can be particularly helpful in 1) providing situational awareness 
during a known public health threat, 2) identifying an emerging public 
health threat, 3) identifying unmet public health communication needs 
following a public health threat, or 4) providing surveillance for specific 
exposures or illnesses of concern to the health department.
