Program Details
The Southern Regional Disaster Response System, led by Emory University, is a collaborative initiative between Emory University, Georgia Department of Public Health, Augusta University, and the University of Georgia Institute for Disaster Management (IDM) to complement existing preparedness and response frameworks and the partnerships represented by the Health Care Coalitions.
This initiative, as the fourth funded Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) Regional Disaster Health Response System (RDHRS), is a tiered system that builds upon the existing Medical Surge Capacity and Capability (MSCC) foundation for local medical response, including trauma systems and healthcare coalitions, by enhancing coordination mechanisms and strengthening connections between clinical and administrative capabilities at the state and regional levels.
SRDRS has several project initiatives and IDM participates in various aspects of the project.
