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 Determine the Risks to the Health of the Jurisdiction Conduct public health jurisdictional risk assessments (JRA) once every five years, 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. CDC recommends a collaborative and flexible risk assessment process that includes input from existing hazard and vulnerability analyses conducted by emergency management, health care coalitions (HCCs) and other health care organizations, as well as other community partners and stakeholders. PHEP recipients 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 priorities, identify program gaps, and, ultimately prioritize preparedness investments. Ensure HPP Coordination Continue assessing risk, planning, coordinating, and exercising with HPP counterparts, including HCCs. 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. PHEP recipients must conduct one statewide or regional full-scale exercise (FSE) within the five-year performance period to test preparedness capabilities. Exercises must include participation from HCCs and include, at a minimum, hospitals, public health departments, emergency management agencies, emergency medical services (EMS), and public health jurisdictions. To help minimize the burden on exercise planners and p...

Associated Capabilities • Capability 1: Community Preparedness • Capability 2: Community Recovery 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 Participate/conduct a regional full-scale exercise, OR ADHS may consider a real- world response as an acceptable substitute All PHEP Sub-Recipients By BP5 (2023- 2024) 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. AARs and plans should provide evidence of a whole community approach when planning, training and exercising.

Strengthen Community Resilience. Activity 1. Partner with Stakeholders by Developing and Maturing Health Care Coalitions HCC membership: Each HCC will review, re- affirm or revise their definition of membership and extend membership as needed to meet minimum requirements of regional healthcare community participation and consider strategic expansion to others. 100% of HCCS have HCC governance documents or other appropriate documents defining membership activities beyond simple meeting attendance, and member list submitted at least twice per year. Each HCC will review, re-affirm or revise their governance structure and necessary processes to execute activities related to health care delivery system readiness and coordination. 100% of HCCs review or revise their governance structure in meeting minutes, communications, or updated governance document(s).
