Infrastructure Challenges for Environmental Public Health: A Workshop

Completed

Topics

The workshop was convened by the two Roundtables as a contribution to the debate on the health risks of disasters and the related need to build capacity to deal with them. The meeting was strengthened by integrating perspectives from these two fields, so that the agenda represented information from both communities and provided an opportunity to look at some of the most pressing research and preparedness needs for health risks of disasters.

Description

An ad hoc committee will plan and conduct a public workshop featuring presentations and discussion outlining current challenges and opportunities for governmental public health agencies and other stakeholders in addressing environmental health threats from deteriorating municipal water systems. The committee will identify specific topics to be addressed, develop the agenda, select and invite speakers and other participants, and moderate the discussions. A proceedings of the presentations and discussions at the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines. A proceedings in brief might also be prepared.
