PHIN 101: Partner Communications and Alerting (PCA)

This webinar, held Wednesday, April 12, 2006, was designed to assist in understanding the Preparedness Requirements for PHIN Communication and Alerting Systems (PCA):
  • How do I determine if my current notification and alerting system is PHIN-compliant?
  • What steps will I need to take to make my system PHIN-compliant?
  • Should I use my own system or a CDC-provided solution?


Webinar topics include:
  • How PHIN PCA requirements fit into the overall PHIN structure
  • PHIN PCA in the context of the Public Health Preparedness Cooperative Agreement Guidance
  • PHIN PCA requirements (including requirements for alert format, vocabulary standards, cross jurisdictional alerting, cascading, system integrity & data exchange, security, and availability)
  • CDC PCA Implementation Guide
  • Validation and working with the experienced, responsive PHIN Project Officers
  • CDC’s plans to establish a PCA Work Group to provide an opportunity to interact with counterparts from other localities, states and territories and to exchange your ideas regarding PCA.
