The Emergency Preparedness Research, Evaluation & Practice (EPREP) Program at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health provides public, private, and non-governmental organizations with the expertise to prepare for and respond to emergencies of all types; convening public health, healthcare, first-responders, and other organizations to offer practice-based education, exercises, and evaluation activities centered on public health emergency preparedness and community safety.
