What: ER310: Food Safety Issues in the event of Disasters

When: Monday, July 15th (0900–1500)

Target Audience: EHOs with minimal experience responding to food safety disaster events. Participants must take the asynchronous version of ER310 before attending this exercise.

Cost: Free, Pre-Registration Required

Description:

Join us in exploring the challenges of food safety after a disaster in a practical activity at this year’s AEC.  There will be a hands-on activity taking place on July 15th, in Pittsburgh, PA, before the start of the 2024 Annual Education Conference & Exhibition (AEC). This activity is an opportunity for learners to apply knowledge to a practical experience that requires critical and creative thinking.

This course is free, but you will need to do some prep work to be able to attend. It is all self-paced and will help you make the most out of the in-person course at the AEC. Sign up for both the asynchronous course and the practical activity. Or find out more about the program. You do not have to attend the NEHA AEC to participate in the tabletop exercise, but it is highly encouraged.

We are pleased to announce that the Uniformed Services Environmental Health Association (USEHA) will offer a scholarship for full conference registration to the 2024 National Environmental Health Association (NEHA) Annual Educational Conference, including the USEHA Educational Sessions and annual business meeting.

This year's NEHA conference will be held in Pittsburgh, PA from July 15-18, 2024. This is a great opportunity to attend the conference and acquire continuing education credits, network with fellow environmental health professionals, and learn about the latest innovations and research in environmental health practice.

The scholarship includes:

• Full conference registration paid directly to NEHA.
• $500 stipend paid directly to the scholarship recipient to put towards lodging, meals, and other incidentals.

Scholarship applicants must be a USEHA member in good standing with our organization.

Members of the USEHA Executive Council are NOT eligible.

To apply for the scholarship, submit a statement of purpose (less than one page) indicating what you hope to gain from attending the NEHA conference. Include your name, rank, branch of service, and contact information. Submit your statement of purpose to LCDR Amanda Schaupp at schaupa13@gmail.com by May 24, 2024. All applications will be reviewed by the USEHA Executive Council, and a scholarship recipient selected and notified by June 7, 2024.

The specific location/room for the USEHA presentations is to be determined.

USEHA is seeking presentations that address the latest advances and concerns in environmental/public health that are associated with the uniformed services. The areas of interest cover the broad spectrum of environmental health disciplines to include, but are not limited to, base, post, and installation activities; field and line activities; research and development initiatives; deployments; and other related areas.

The technical presentations are designed to educate and inform people with an interest or career in environmental/public health (which includes Force Health Protection), build contacts, exchange information, and discover new and practical solutions to environmental health issues. Practical applications in the uniformed services will be emphasized along with the latest in proven emerging technologies. Recent research activities in the environmental/public health area are also of interest.
