Part One of this archived webinar series shared information to enhance collective readiness for and recovery from natural disasters. Such information is essential for strengthening national, county/parish and community health resilience (CHR), all of which are vital for improving health outcomes among “at risk” populations before, during and after natural disasters, such as low-income populations diagnosed with chronic diseases (including cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes).
Part Two addressed minimizing the impact before, during and after natural disasters by increasing knowledge of: a) free cancer support services available and b) best/promising community-clinical linkages interventions (policy, system, and environmental) or partnerships essential to enhancing emergency preparedness, response and recovery outcomes among low-income populations with cancer and its comorbidities (for example, cardiovascular disease and diabetes).
