The integration of Poison Control Centers (PCCs) in
state and local public health preparedness and
response plans has become a federal priority. Because
PCCs operate 24 hours a day, collect real-time data
from callers concerned with potentially toxic
exposures, and provide treatment and referral advice
by qualified healthcare professionals, they are an
invaluable component of an all-hazard response
system. Three distinct preparedness roles for PCCs will
be discussed: surveillance, response, and preparedness.

(observation) and analysis (orientation) that are
necessary to make those decisions. This session will
identify decisions and orientations using the OODA
framework. The Ohio Department of Health has based
development of its situational awareness tool on the
OODA loop.
