PODs (Points of Dispensing): Public Health Training for Staff and Volunteers
This 30-minute training from University of Minnesota Centers for Public Health Education and Outreach is designed to provide an overview and orientation to the general operations of a POD. It is intended to complement just-in-time training provided at the time of deployment. Public health staff and volunteers may find this training beneficial. Participants are eligible to receive a certificate upon completion of the training, which includes a pre-test, post-test, and evaluation.

Medical Countermeasures (Basics of Public Health Preparedness, Module 4)
This module, developed by the UNC Preparedness and Emergency Response Learning Center (UNC PERLC), is part of a training series for local public health preparedness staff. It provides a definition of medical countermeasure management (MCM) including a list of triggers for their use, a description of the strategic national stockpile, a discussion of distribution/dispensing and planning for the use of MCM. These learning modules are applicable to all public health, medical, veterinary, pharmacy, emergency management, hospital and other professionals interested in public health preparedness. These modules are created by faculty and guest lecturers at the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health.

Partnering for Medical Countermeasure Distribution in Emergencies Toolkit 
Providing antibiotics, antivirals, vaccines, and other supplies effectively during emergencies requires coordinated public-private collaboration. Northwest Center for Public Health Preparedness developed this toolkit to help public health agencies accomplish this by partnering with hospitals, long-term care facilities, and pharmacies when the need arises. The toolkit includes multiple formats of documents, videos, and slide sets that can be modified to meet your needs during a variety of disasters. Included in the toolkit are: a webinar on creating strong partnerships with pharmacies, templates and discussion materials to help agencies engage community partners, and education resources on dispensing medical countermeasures.

Developing Effective and Sustainable Medication Dispensing Strategies
This toolkit has been created for local health departments (LHDs) to show how CDTAs can be developed for emergency events. The Collaborative Drug Therapy Agreement Toolkit was developed as a joint effort between Seattle & King County Advanced Practice Center, Public Health—Seattle & King County, the Northwest Center for Public Health Practice, the Washington State Pharmacy Association, and the Washington State Board of Pharmacy.

Mass Prophylaxis: Point of Dispensing Field Operations Guide
The purpose of this document, from Washington State Region IV Public Health, is to provide a standardized mass prophylaxis point of dispensing (POD) field operating guide (FOG). It describes how to set up and manage points of dispensing (PODs) or mass prophylaxis centers that are scalable, adaptable in the field, and meet the CDC Division of Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) guidance standards.

Radiation Emergency: Medical Management Countermeasures
CDC Fact sheets on the four drugs specifically designated for us in a radiation emergency, and a table of countermeasures for treatment of radiation contamination.

Inclusive Just-in-Time Training for Mass Prophylaxis/POD Operations
This toolkit from the Multnomah County Advanced Practice Center is designed to support individuals responding to a public health emergency. Its approach to training is aligned with best practice from the field of adult learning theory. This toolkit is designed to be adaptable to the changing environment of an emergency response and includes tips on how to integrate I-JITT into a local response, whether training lasts five minutes or an hour.

OTP Earthquake Tabletop Exercise
From CIDRAP: Patients who cannot access their designated opioid treatment center during a disaster could begin experiencing withdrawal symptoms, or worse, could relapse. With support from the King County Healthcare Coalition, stakeholders in King County, Washington, formed partnerships, created tools, and challenged the region's capacity to ensure continuity of care for such patients. The effort involved 14 months of quarterly stakeholder workgroup meetings, a multisector tabletop exercise, clarified roles, and formalized agreement on how to dispense medication during disasters. Downloadable tools include Tabletop Exercise, After Action Report and Improvement Plan, and more.

National Planning Scenarios
The Federal interagency community has developed 15 all-hazards planning scenarios (the National Planning Scenarios or Scenarios) for use in national, Federal, State, and local homeland security preparedness activities. The Scenarios are planning tools and are representative of the range of potential terrorist attacks and natural disasters and the related impacts that face our nation. The objective was to develop a minimum number of credible scenarios in order to establish the range of response requirements to facilitate preparedness planning.
