Module 1 ­ SLP Writer: for this assignment please write 3 pages

Understanding the Role of Public Health Professionals in Emergency Preparedness and Response You are a new employee at your county Emergency Management Agency (EMA). Your county suffers

a devastating earthquake, knocking out the power grid and causing widespread damage to buildings

and infrastructure. It is also at the peak of the regular influenza season. You are assigned as your

agency’s liaison to the County Public Health Department (PHD). Unfortunately, your county EMA and

PHD have a history of “working in silos.” However, in this emergency, you are going to need to work

together in order to serve the population. As your first task, you are asked to prepare a PowerPoint

presentation for the EMA team, to help educate those that have limited knowledge about public

health and disasters.

You will create several slides in each module, so by Module 4, you will have a complete presentation.

For Module 1, please address the following public health roles and their significance in emergency

and disaster preparedness and response:

Public Health Educator

Public Health Nurse

Environmental Health Specialist

Epidemiologist

Mental Health provider

Medical Reserve Corps

SLP Assignment Expectations

Prepare a PowerPoint presentation (at least 6 slides) including speaker’s notes (you will be penalized

if your speaker’s notes are not included).

Include a reference list at the end in a concluding slide. Also, provide the necessary citations in your

presentation/speaker’s notes.

Additional Resources

What are speaker notes?

As you recall, the PowerPoint slides should only give your audience some key points about the topic.

You should not try to “cram” your slides full of information. Speaker’s notes can help the presenter

remember everything that he or she wants to say about a particular slide.

How do I make speaker’s notes?

Follow these simple steps to add speaker’s notes to your PowerPoint presentation:

Open your PowerPoint presentation

Go to the “View” menu and select the “Notes” page.

 

The notes page will be small, so you will have to go to the “View” menu again and select “Zoom” in

order to make them bigger. Select the percentage of zoom that you want (the higher the percentage,

the larger the page will become).

Click inside the notes page and begin typing your speaker notes.

Continue doing this on each slide until your speaker notes are written.

Once you have finished writing your speaker notes, save your presentation and it is ready to be

graded.
