State coordinator highlights pediatric disaster resources, training modules and 62% PEEDS survey response
Summary
Irene Nabis, Nevada coordinator for WRAPM and CBRN domain manager for the Pediatric Pandemic Network, briefed the council on new resource guides, tabletop tools and a pediatric readiness survey with a current 62% response rate; she offered to share materials and help draft letters of support for funding.
Irene Nabis identified herself as the Nevada coordinator for the Western Regional Alliance for Pediatric Emergency Management and the CBRN domain manager for the Pediatric Pandemic Network and gave the council a round of updates on preparedness resources.
"If you have visited the WRAPM website before ... the first thing I want to announce is that we are supporting the National PEEDS Ready survey and I just wanted to thank Michael for the opportunity for us to work together... We're at I believe 62% currently," Nabis said, and described three pediatric resource guides now available for RSV, mass gatherings/MCI and active shooter response, plus a virtual tabletop exercise toolkit for multiple scenarios.
Nabis said a pediatric disaster management course will be represented at the rural preparedness summit in June, with four of 13 modules presented and opportunities for attendees to become instructors. She offered to provide written materials and talking points for council members to use in letters of support to federal funders.
Council members thanked Nabis and asked staff to coordinate uploading resources to the EMSC site and to follow up offline on any gaps between council and WRAPM materials.
