Overview: The WNYPHA APC is developing a web-based tool to predict rural population surge following urban disasters. Trainers will describe development of the tool, including qualitative and quantitative background research conducted to populate modeling algorithms, and provide a demonstration of the tool's functionalities. The WNYPHA APC has conducted an assessment to capture the best practices associated with multi-jurisdictional collaborations. The applicability of this resource, “A Guide to Multi-Jurisdictional Collaboration,” will be discussed as it relates to strengthening planning and preparedness in rural communities.
