Public health emergencies caused by emerging infectious disease, whether precipitated by a natural disaster or resulting from an epidemic or pandemic, can disproportionality impact pregnant people, neonates, and infants as demonstrated by the Zika virus epidemic and COVID-19 pandemic. In session 2 of the National Preparedness Month Webinar Series, ASTHO will share policy options available to jurisdictions to enhance emergency preparedness and care for pregnant people, neonates, and infants and highlight relevant ASTHO resources.Register -
