Public health and planning have long been interconnected disciplines. APA advocates for and provides practical tools to help integrate public health into the planning process, understanding the essential role planning will play in community recovery and resilience in a post-COVID19 world. In this short video interview, nationally recognized epidemiologist and disaster researcher Dr. Jennifer Horney describes how planners can protect themselves onsite, identifies lessons they can glean from disaster recovery, and discusses how planners can serve as allies to health professionals.
