Stories from the Field Planning for Multiple Threats in Arizona

The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) used the HHS emPOWER Map, the emPOWER Emergency Planning De-identified Dataset, and the emPOWER Emergency Response Outreach Individual Dataset to prepare for, respond to, and work to mitigate severe weather, poor air quality, and power outage threats to at-risk individuals in emergencies. ADHS developed systems, processes and deployable equipment and supply caches to support 1,000 at-risk individuals in a response.
