Description:On January 14-16, 2003, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) held a communications roundtable in Atlanta, Georgia, to explore hospitals’ challenges in communicating with internal and external audiences in communitywide emergencies involving radioactive materials. The roundtable, Hospital Communications in a Mass Casualty Radiological Incident, is part of CDC’s effort to help prepare the nation’s public health community for threats of terrorism.
CDC’s Radiation Studies Branch (Division of Environmental Hazards and Health Effects, National Center for Environmental Health) organized the roundtable discussion. Participants included professionals from hospitals (administrators, clinicians, community planners, communications personnel, and mental health personnel); state and local emergency management agencies; professional associations; and federal, state, and local public health agencies, as well as experts in risk communications.
