Public Health Emergency Preparedness: Berlin Region POD “Point-of-Dispensing” Exercise
The City of Berlin partnered with the North Country Public Health Network is practicing the Berlin area's emergency dispensing plan to test and improve the region’s emergency preparedness. In the event of an actual public health emergency that would require providing medication or vaccinations to Berlin area residents, the regional POD—or “point-of-dispensing”—located at Berlin High School, would be open to the community as a “clinic.” The April 13th exercise will drill activation of the regional POD to receive and provide medications to the community. Volunteers from the community are needed to report to the POD to simulate receiving antibiotics due to a bio-terrorism attack. *** NOTE: The incident is NOT real! ***
