Public Health Preparedness Recommendations for the Democratic National Convention

July 20, 2016

[

Independence is providing this information from the Philadelphia Department of Public Health regarding the upcoming Democratic National Convention and potential threat of terrorism:

From July 25 to July 28, the City of Philadelphia will host the Democratic National Convention, the formal nominating event for the Democratic candidates for President and Vice President. Health care facilities should be prepared for both naturally occurring events that might result in increased illness, as well as the possibility of terrorism resulting in civilian casualties. The Philadelphia Department of Public Health Division of Disease Control (DDC) recommends that health care facilities review their emergency response and disaster preparedness plans with the possibly heightened potential for terrorism and disease transmission.

Specific recommendations and further details are included in the communication from the Philadelphia Department of Public Health, available by clicking here.
