required readings. Read through this assignment, instructions, and the Assignment
Expectations. In her commentary, “The Global Dimensions of Public Health Preparedness
and Implications for US Action,” Moore (2012) points out that Public Health is truly a global
issue; and she discusses what that means for us here in the US in terms of our need for
preparedness. She suggests four areas for action: 1) sensitize practitioners to the global
nature of diseases, 2) learn from the success of other countries, 3) US Investment in Global
Health, and 4) acting locally on global issues. Instructions Your assignment is to write an
essay in which you select the single area that you feel to be the most important for public
health preparedness. Justify your position. You can submit your paper in a Question and
Answer format. In other words, list the questions and provide a short answer to
each. 1. What is the Area for Action that you feel is most important for public health
preparedness? (Please write 1 paragraph maximum here)Hint: you will need to conduct
your own scholarly research for information on the topic. For example, enter The Online
Library and enter search terms, such as “Public Health Preparedness.” Be sure to check the
box to limit your search to full-text access. 2. Why might each of the other dimensions be
slightly less important? Be sure to cite sources rather than simply stating your opinion.
