Large scale disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes and radiologic emergencies pose significant risks to both patients and patient care providers. In an era of declining federal funding for emergency preparedness training (EPT), the importance of state and local initiatives to provide EPT has increased. Unfortunately, few US regions have performed workforce assessments of their patient care providers to measure levels of preparedness, record training preferences and assess EPT needs. This project summarizes the preliminary findings the Center for Health Professional Training and Emergency Response's (CHPTER) workforce assessment of nearly 400 patient care providers in South and North Carolina.

In this project, we describe the experience of utilizing six AmeriCorps volunteers deployed to an urban, coastal city over a six-week period in 2011 to assist with a CBDP needs assessment survey and pre-deployment disaster training of health care personnel. Volunteer accomplishments included (1) a regional database of care providers to identify optimal emergency preparedness training (EPT) distribution, (2) an EPT assessment survey to gauge current care provider disaster preparedness, and (3) a high-fidelity EPT training demonstration project in the university's human simulation center. In contrast to their more traditional roles of response and recovery, we believe that we have demonstrated a model of how volunteers can be utilized to support CBDP mitigation and planning stages of disaster. We hope the volunteers' experiences, goals, mission and accomplishments documented here can be used as a potential model that may enhance CBDP activities around the nation.
