The COVID 19 pandemic<\/strong> revealed that society was unprepared for such a widespread emergency. However, it also provided an opportunity to reflect on these challenges and improve future preparedness and response. PREPSHIELD aims to create a more comprehensive and people-centered approach to health crisis management, placing individuals and communities at the forefront of planning and decision-making.<\/p>\n

PREPSHIELD will conduct a need analysis and develop recommendations for health crisis preparedness<\/strong>, response, and communication as well as tools to simulate future crises. The PREPSHIELD platform and app will be developed to facilitate communication among stakeholders and support decision-making in a real or simulated crisis. Once the recommendations and tools are developed, so-called \u201cpilot exercises\u201d will simulate future crises with stakeholders: one communication pilot, one tabletop exercise, and one online exercise relying entirely on the platform and app.<\/p>\n
