Consider you are developing a project that evaluates community preparedness in the event of a local disaster or public health emergency. You will need to identify partners and resources in the community. A Partner Planning Worksheet synthesizes information about how each reported partner supports public health preparedness and response.
Strong, fully engaged community (jurisdictional) partners are critical for public health preparedness. Public and private partners are often perceived as trusted sources and support preparedness by working with the health department to provide input and mitigate identified health risks for the communities they serve. Partners also help identify community roles and responsibilities and coordinate the delivery of essential health services to strengthen community resilience as early as possible before, during, and after a public health emergency. Jurisdictions can leverage partner insights to develop and disseminate information that address the needs of at-risk populations that may be disproportionately impacted by the incident or event.

Experiences from national and state emergencies, such as hurricanes, flooding and fires, have shown that current emergency preparedness have inadequacies addressing the unique issues of special needs populations. Master’s prepared nurses should source for most relevant strategies, practices, and resources from a variety of sources, including peer-reviewed research, government reports, and the trade literature, to identify priority populations and critical strategies.
This Partner Planning Template is meant to guide you toward preparedness appraisal to protect population health and advocacy during disasters and public health emergencies for your local and/ or state community.
Partner Planning and Assessment Worksheet
Purpose: A Partner Planning and Assessment Worksheet is the preliminary planning tool for gathering information about existing and potential emergency preparedness partners. You will demonstrate the ability to appraise preparedness to protect population health and advocacy during disasters and public health emergencies by completing a partner planning and community resource assessment worksheet. You are creating an appraisal of public health support, communication sources, and a variety of services in the community in the event of a public health emergency or disaster.
Instructions:
Identify existing or potential public partners engaged in activities relevant to planning for access and functional needs. Many of these partners may lend their knowledge, expertise, and risk communication planning.
Identify organizations who can aid in the response and supply services or support for vulnerable and multicultural populations.
For both 1 and 2, include the partner type, name, and any of the following roles adding detail to the function:
Access and functional needs group represented
Preparedness phase of partner engagement (i.e., pre-incident, response, recovery)
Participation in jurisdictional risk assessment
Communication support (i.e., public information/ warning)
Exchange of information between partners (information sharing)
Participation in training
Participation in exercises or incidents/event
Examples are in the template. Edit as needed. Research your community.
Finally summarize your findings: 1-2 pages. Include strengths and weaknesses in the appraisal. Identify health disparity data and potential resources for these needs or for unsupported vulnerable populations. Include specific risks you identified during your partnership assessment. Identify how you can utilize resources, data, and partners to affect community change. Include content related to clinical judgment in your summary. Describe how the master’s prepared nurse will contribute clinical expertise and knowledge to the interprofessional efforts to protect and improve population health.
