The Capital Area Public Health Network (CAPHN) and other regional partners comprising New Hampshire’s Capital Area Public Health (PH) Region participated in the second phase of regional public health capacity assessments conducted between the Fall 2009 and Spring 2010. The purpose of the assessment was to identify assets in the region and identify gaps that may be addressed through regionalization. This capacity assessment is one component of a three-part assessment process that also includes financial and governance assessments of each public health region.

About Emergency Preparedness
It’s not easy to think about manmade or natural disasters which could affect you or your family. But your best defense against any hazard is pre-planning and making realistic decisions about what you might have to do. Always apply common sense to any emergency plan.

About CAPHN
The Capital Area Public Health Network (CAPHN) is a community health and safety collaborative established in 2004 to identify and solve community health problems and improve local public health emergency preparedness. The CAPHN is based at Concord Hospital and is comprised of coalition community members, as well as organizations, involved in providing for the public's health and safety - the Regional Coordination Council.

About Network Efforts
Since its inception, the community representatives who comprise the CAPHN network have identified actions, procedures and initiatives that will undertaken to advise community members about an impending emergency or pandemic. Your city or town elected officials and emergency responders know about CAPHN and the role CAPHN will play to protect citizens in and around the capital area.
