VOLUNTEER MANAGEMENT
IN THIS PRACTICE: Mesa County Advanced Practice Center developed a toolkit that uses just-in-time training to integrate volunteers into a healthcare response in the fairly rural region around Grand Junction (CO), which experiences an influx of skiers each winter and must be prepared to care for unexpected numbers of people during an emergency.

INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
IN THIS PRACTICE: During the H1N1 pandemic, the North Carolina Division of Public Health used a video-conferencing system that allowed for studio-quality images and sound with call-in and e-mail question capacity, remote presentations, and the ability to project slides with written information and graphics. Local agency staff and partners could view the conferences from their desktops or other convenient locations.

SURVEILLANCE + INVESTIGATION
IN THIS PRACTICE:
When H1N1-related illness in Michigan schools prompted closures, public health officials shifted to an active event surveillance system that made possible a daily report of the number of closures in each county and included maps that showed real-time closure and re-opening status as well as community impact assessments.
