Influence national and local decisions about public health in an emergency situation

Decision-makers from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services are seeking opinions from people in King County to help them plan for a public health emergency such as an anthrax attack. Participants in a 6-hour public engagement meeting will receive $75 in appreciation of their time, with additional stipends available for childcare and transportation as needed.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services requests your input to help guide national policy on emergency preparedness. We are looking for a diverse group of participants to give their thoughts and opinions on this important issue.

• What would influence your actions and decision-making during a public health emergency such as an anthrax attack?
• How should medicines be given out quickly during a public health emergency?

Space is limited. Registration is required for participation and you must be able to attend the entire meeting.
