Abstract: Because public health workers are usually first responders in various capacities in the event of a radiological emergency, the need to provide time-sensitive and consistent communications is vital. Through focus group testing and survey of public health workers, it is CDC's intent to provide a final set of communication messages that can be disseminated through various methods and provide a more consistent platform for responding to radiological emergencies.
