Wherever we turn, talk of the coronavirus dominates national and international discussion. While it keeps the media buzzing, this pandemic presents unique challenges for first responders, health care workers, and community leaders. How can communities respond to the current crisis and prepare for the next one?

Introducing the LSU NCBRT Preparedness Podcast, from Louisiana State University’s National Center for Biomedical Research and Training. LSU NCBRT has provided high-quality, federally-certified training to America’s emergency responder community since 1998. We’ve helped first responders around the country and around the world prepare for and respond to events like H1N1 and the Ebola crisis. Now, we’re sharing our expertise on COVID-19.

Each week, we’ll bring in some of the nation’s top experts to share their expertise on the effects that COVID-19 has on public health and public safety. We’ll cover topics like how universities can respond to a pandemic, the roles of public health agencies during this crisis, how to maximize the use of volunteer responders, and many others.
