About

This one-hour CDC Emergency Partners Information Connection (EPIC) webinar discusses how teachers can help during public health emergencies. It describes the important role educators play in keeping students safe and informed. Teachers can share accurate information, support students' emotional needs, and help maintain a sense of normalcy. They also work with health officials to ensure schools follow safety guidelines. By doing these things, educators contribute to the community's overall well-being during crises like pandemics or natural disasters.
