CIDRAP’s (Center For Infectious Disease Research and Policy) Promising Practices website is chock full of important information on dealing with a pandemic and highlights programs, resources, and toolkits from projects from all over the country.
It’s been a few months since I last mentioned this innovative website, and since then, they’ve added quite a few new items to their growing list of resources.
You can search by topic, by state, or by key word or phrase. If you haven’t explored this site before, pack a lunch. There’s a lot to see.
I’ve listed the last dozen updates to the site below, but there are nearly 200 entries to check out. If you are thinking about starting a pandemic project in your community, you may find a blueprint already exists for something similar and is available on this site.
