Dear USET/USET SPF Family,
Tribal Public Health Preparedness and Resilience (PHPR) is a Tribally centered epidemiological approach to public health preparedness and resilience with the primary goal of strengthening the resilience of Tribal Nations in the USET region through public health strategies focused on the mitigation, prevention, and preparation phases of the disaster management cycle.
You are invited to join the PHPR Task Force! Our next meeting will be on May 6, 2025, at 12:00 – 12:30PM CT/1:00 – 1:30PM ET! Click here to register! The next meeting will be presented by Shawn Newell Safety Director for the Mi'kmaq Nation. Shawn brings to the Tribal Nation over 26 years of experience in Public Safety.
