A big thank you to the everyone who put together today’s public health presentation around preparation for and response to COVID-19. The Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department and Pierce County Emergency management made time in their no-doubt-crazy-busy-week to put this presentation together to help us better serve our most vulnerable community members. The Pierce County Public Information crew then stepped up on super short notice to record, edit and publish an excellent video of the presentation (link below). The City of Tacoma Human Services, Pierce County Human Services and the Tacoma Emergency Management crew (among others) were all present as well.  Yay team. 

 

Anyway, if you missed today’s presentation, you can view the recording of the presentation at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EBPTSFkMbU&feature=youtu.be .  The PowerPoint from the presentation is available at https://coalitionfiles.blob.core.windows.net/files/COVID-19%20Coalition%20to%20End%20Homelessness%20March%206%202020.pptx . I think most of us walked away from the meeting with a bit of a to-do list – both things we can do to better prepare and ways we can support each other – so well worth investing time in watching the presentation.

 

Thanks,

-Gerrit
