The South Central Preparedness & Emergency Response Learning Center (SCPERLC) was launched in 2010 to strengthen and improve the nation’s public health, preparedness and response capabilities. This initiative focuses on providing training and training technical assistance to the public health workforce and other responder communities in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi.
The SCPERLC at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Public Health, located in Birmingham, Alabama, in collaboration with Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, located in New Orleans, Louisiana, will provide a coherent framework for preparedness and emergency response core competency-based and partner-requested training that will: 1) improve knowledge, skills and abilities; 2) improve preparedness and response performance; and 3) result in improved training-related outcomes for the preparedness and emergency response workforce.
Funded by the CDC, the SCPERLC is part of a network of academic preparedness centers across the country. The Association of Schools of Public Health works closely with the CDC to support and manage the project nationwide.
