DISCUSSION
The National Association of City and County Health Officials (NACCHO) selected seven proposals from a
competitive grant process yielding 34 submissions to serve as pilot demonstration sites for integrating
public health preparedness training with traditional public health services The Fort Worth Public Health
Department's proposal `Using Integrated Public Health Methods to Identify and Effectively Provide All-
Hazards Preparedness Education to Underserved and High Risk Populations was one of the seven
selected programs receiving $9 000 each for development of their pilot program
The Fort Worth Public Health Department's Epidemiology and Assessment Division will use data from the
2003 Community Needs Assessment (CNA) to identify emergency .preparedness disparities among specific
groups in the Fort Worth community The unprecedented level of insight afforded by the 2003 CNA data
allows for identification of these groups by race ethnicity gender and geography thereby permitting highly
specific targeting of the pilot program The established presence of the Public Health Department's
Outreach Division will further assist in the implementation of the proposed educational intervention The
pilot program will use community centers primarily the Northside Community Health Center (The Galvan
Clinic) and other traditional public health venues to integrate traditional public health information and
educational efforts with all-hazards emergency preparedness information Based on preliminary analyses of
the CNA data, non-English speaking Hispanic residents have expressed feeling most vulnerable while
feeling least capable of finding necessary emergency preparedness information and resources. The
proposed data driven program reflects programming parameters that are consistent with the NACCHO
Public Health Workbook on how to Define Locate and Reach Special Vulnerable and At-Risk Populations
in an Emergency
The grant proposal as approved by NACCHO includes $2,598 40 to offset personnel salaries of Fort Worth
public health staff (2.25% each of one Outreach nurse and one Epidemiologist) The remaining funds will

the community by offering traditional public health services together with all-hazards preparedness training
