MISSION AND GOALS OF C-PREP

Mission
The mission of the Center for Preparedness Research, Education and Practice (C-PREP) is to develop research and training initiatives in public policy, risk perception and communication, and mental health to enhance public health preparedness and to mitigate the physical, psychological and public health impacts of natural and perpetrated disasters.

Goals
The goal of C-PREP is to build the evidence base for appropriate actions in emergency situations by supporting multidisciplinary research and translation to practice. A workforce development approach promotes attention to the wide range of professions currently involved in emergency response. C-PREP will conduct basic research needed for systems and community planning; create model protocols and training curriculums for specific worksites designed to address trauma related stress; and address institutional policies and practices across a range of industries that will broadly enhance preparedness and response.
