Earlier this year, I was interviewed by Glen Mayes. Glen is the director of the NHSPI Program Office and we chatted about
health preparedness and emergency management's role and partnership in public health. It was early in the coronavirus pandemic, when test kits and testing were big issues. The interview is 14 minutes and 30 seconds long. Look for the rating of your state here:
2020 National Health Preparedness Security Index.
"In this episode, Glen Mays and Eric Holdeman discuss how COVID-19 has affected preparedness, ideas on how to improve health security, ways the Index can establish connections across key sectors, and much more.
"Glen Mays is the director of the NHSPI Program Office and chair of the Department of Health, Management, and Policy at the Colorado School of Public Health. Eric Holdeman is the director of the
Center for Regional Disaster Resilience (CRDR)."
Eric Holdeman is a contributing writer for Emergency Management magazine and is the former director of the King County, Wash., Office of Emergency Management.
