Spotlight: Profile of a CDC PERLC
CDC provides funding for 14 Preparedness and Emergency Response Learning Centers
(PERLC) across the US. These training centers support the preparedness
and response education needs of state, local and tribal public health
authorities within their region.

The Northwest Preparedness and Emergency Response Learning Center
(NWPERLC), housed within the Northwest Center for Public Health
Practice (NWCPHP), serves a six-state region in the Pacific Northwest.
PERLCs use their unique capacity to adapt and tailor preparedness
training to meet the needs of the people they serve and the NWCPHP
serves as a model. Associate Director, Luann D’Ambrosio, says NWCPHP is
committed to “breaking down silos” and sharing information across
service areas. This culture of collaboration strengthens the program,
trainings, and the preparedness capacity of the public health community
that NWCPHP serves.

inspired NWCPHP to create new trainings around social media use during
emergency situations.
