Michele was clearly very passionate about the subject of Emergency Preparedness and committed to getting the "message" out. And she shared her experiences for doing it on a shoestring! In rapid-fire and animated presentation, Michele reviewed a number of agencies, information sources and web sites that provided resources on emergency response and health education at NO COST. She stressed the need to be flexible and innovative in promoting the preparedness message - adapting and piggybacking on the topic du jour. An interesting example how they conducted a Pandemic exercise as part of a mobile Flu Clinic.
Michele provided a wealth of information, and some excellent examples of how to implement processes with almost no budget. As this is a common situation for most of us, the presentation (available on the Conference CD) is a valuable resource.
