About

This CDC Emergency Partners Information Connection (EPIC) webinar discusses keeping pregnant women and babies safe during public health emergencies. It describes how important it is to have plans in place to protect them because they are more vulnerable during crises like pandemics or natural disasters. The video also highlights the need for special care and resources, such as medical support and information, to ensure their safety. By focusing on these needs, communities can better prepare for emergencies and help protect both mothers and their babies from harm.
