Assessing Legal Preparedness for Emergencies: An Overview of the Prevention Measures Law Assessment Tool

This webinar overviews the newly drafted Prevention Measures Law Assessment Tool. Using lessons learned from the past 12 years, including strategies deployed during the COVID-19 pandemic, the tool enables health officials and attorneys to assess their state, Tribe, local or territory jurisdictional legal authority for implementing nonpharmaceutical interventions and distributing medical countermeasures in outbreaks of any magnitude. The tool also offers the opportunity to reflect on these measures’ implementation, compliance, and enforcement and their impact on health equity.
